Wild bee toxicity data for pesticide risk assessments [PDF]
, 2019 Pollination services are vital for agriculture, food security and biodiversity. Although many insect species provide pollination services, honeybees are thought to be the major provider of this service to agriculture. However, the importance of wild bees

Complex effects of climatic variation on bumblebee queen fitness
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.A dearth of data on the health of wild‐insect populations hinders efforts to fully grasp the extent of historical population declines or unravel the mechanisms driving these effects. We help fill this data deficit by testing how climatic variation affects health, reproduction, size and survival in bumblebees—important insect pollinators.

Bombus terrestris Linnaeus 1758
, 2017 Bombus terrestris (Linnaeus, 1758) Species almost cosmopolitan, with a distribution that extends from northern Europe to north Africa and from central Asia to the Macaronesia, naturally distributed from 0 to 3000 m (Ornosa & Ortiz-Sánchez 2004). It has become increasingly important commercially for its pollination services to agriculture.

The restoration of ecological interactions: plant-pollinator networks on ancient and restored heathlands [PDF]
, 2008 1. Attempts to restore damaged ecosystems usually emphasize structural aspects of biodiversity, such as species richness and abundance. An alternative is to emphasize functional aspects, such as patterns of interaction between species.

Bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) Improve ‘Hass’ Avocado (Persea americana) Pollination
Plants, 2021 Pollination is limiting for avocado production. We examined whether adding bumblebees (BBs; ca. 10 hives/ha) to conventional honeybees (HB; 5 hives/ha) would improve ‘Hass’ avocado pollination and yields.

Landscape and crop diversity contributes to greater yield stability
Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.These findings underscore the importance of promoting crop diversity and maintaining heterogeneous agricultural landscapes, particularly in pollinator‐dependent crops. Promoting diverse agricultural landscapes with balanced heterogeneity can enhance the resilience of agricultural systems to climate change and contribute to long‐term food security ...

Genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of buff‐tailed bumblebees in Asia
Insect Science, EarlyView.This study investigates the genetic differentiation and local adaptation of the buff‐tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) across its European and Asian populations. Using whole‐genome resequencing, we identified distinct genetic differences between populations, with Asian B. terrestris representing a unique genetic resource.
