SOCIAL INFORMATION USE IN SOCIAL INSECTS [PDF]
, 2014 Social learning plays a valuable role in the lives of many animal taxa, sometimes allowing individuals to bypass the costs of personal exploration. The ubiquity of this behaviour may arise from the fact that learning from others is often underpinned by ...

Molecular and Metabolic Biology of Bumble Bees: Advancing Our Understanding of Environmental Stressor Impacts on Bumble Bees [PDF]
, 2023 Bumble bees (genus Bombus) are an important group of bees that perform many complex behaviors and provide vital ecosystem services through plant pollination. Bumble bees, along with many other pollinators, face a variety of stressors in their environment

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Bombus terrestris and Apis mellifera colonies sharing the same landscape (<50 m from each other) collected pollen with significantly different heavy metal concentrations. B. terrestris‐collected pollen contained 2–7× higher concentrations of arsenic, chromium, cobalt, lead and tin than A. mellifera‐collected pollen.

, 2008 The impact of the microsporidium Nosema bombi on Bombus terrestris was studied by recording mating, hibernation success, protein titre in haemolymph, weight change during hibernation, and colony founding of queens that were inoculated with N.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Bees are integral pollinators commonly found in and supported by urban green spaces; however, their eco‐evolutionary response to urbanisation varies interspecifically. While several studies have explored the population and landscape genetics of bees in response to urbanisation, few have examined solitary or specialist species which may be more ...

Brood care by male bumble bees [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1985 Male Bombus griseocollis (Hymenoptera: Apidae) share in the brood care of nestmates by incubating pupae (usually during the first few days after they emerge as adults). Male posture during incubation of a pupa is identical to that observed for females.

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Despite increasing demands for resilient and sustainable supply chains, inventory management often relies on outdated single‐criterion analyses. While multi‐criteria ABC (MCABC) analyses provide a theoretically mature assessment of resilience‐sustainability‐benefit trade‐offs in inventory, their adoption remains limited due to fragmented ...

Potential application of the bumblebee foraging recruitment pheromone for commercial greenhouse pollination [PDF]
, 2009 Commercial bumblebee colonies are important crop pollinators. Here we assess whether application of artificial foraging recruitment pheromone can increase foraging activity in Bombus terrestris colonies on a relevant timescale for commercial pollination.

The uncomfortable science in the womb: How biological experience disrupts surrogacy narratives
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract The discourse surrounding surrogacy portrays pregnancy as a temporary process, depicting surrogates as neutral “carriers” whose involvement concludes at birth. This narrative minimizes gestation's biological significance despite evidence of its lasting effects on both women and children.
