Coinvasional disruptions to island pollinator networks
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Biological invasions can adversely affect pollinator diversity by threatening the maintenance of animal‐pollinated plant communities. Although most studies have examined single invasive species, accelerating species introductions driven by global trade highlight the need to understand how multiple co‐occurring invaders jointly influence ...

Exposure of Larvae of the Solitary Bee Osmia bicornis to the Honey Bee Pathogen Nosema ceranae Affects Life History [PDF]
, 2019 Wild bees are important pollinators of wild plants and agricultural crops and they are threatened by several environmental stressors including emerging pathogens. Honey bees have been suggested as a potential source of pathogen spillover.

The conservation of bumble bees [PDF]
Bee World, 2003 The approximately 250 known species of bumble bee (genus Bombus) are found predominantly in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. This region also contains much of the world's human population and the most intensive agricultural regions. Probably as a result of this, many bumble bees appear to be undergoing dramatic declines in range.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.

The transcription factor
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background Regulation of worker behavior by dominant queens or workers is a hallmark of insect societies, but the underlying molecular mechanisms and their evolutionary conservation are not well understood.

BumbleKey: an interactive key for the identification of bumblebees of Italy and Corsica (Hymenoptera, Apidae) [PDF]
, 2018 BumbleKey is a matrix-based, interactive key to all 45 species of bumblebees of Italy and Corsica. The key allows to identify adult males and females (queens and workers) using morphological characters. The key is published online, open-access, at http://

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Foraging decisions of social animals occur in the context of social groups, and thus may be subject to considerations of not only an individual’s nutritional state and nutrient input, but those of the social group in which they live. In eusocial insects,

Adding Amino Acids to a Sucrose Diet Is Not Sufficient to Support Longevity of Adult Bumble Bees
Insects, 2020 Dietary macro-nutrients (i.e., carbohydrates, protein, and fat) are important for bee larval development and, thus, colony health and fitness. To which extent different diets (varying in macro-nutrient composition) affect adult bees and whether they can ...

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.In the pollen stores of three bee species deployed across 128 European sites, bumble bees harboured lower lipid content and higher protein‐to‐lipid ratios than honey bees and mason bees. Toxicity‐weighted pesticide risk did not alter protein‐to‐lipid ratios, but higher risk was associated with reduced protein and lipid content in the pollen stores of ...
