Co-formulant in a commercial fungicide product causes lethal and sub-lethal effects in bumble bees
Scientific Reports, 2021 Pollinators, particularly wild bees, are suffering declines across the globe, and pesticides are thought to be drivers of these declines. Research into, and regulation of pesticides has focused on the active ingredients, and their impact on bee health ...

Poison or Potion: Effects of Sunflower Phenolamides on Bumble Bees and Their Gut Parasite
Biology, 2022 Simple Summary Bee declines have been reported worldwide, partly due to parasite spread induced by human activities. However, bees may forage on specific floral resources to face parasite infection.

Care and COVID 19: Lessons for liberals and neoliberals
Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Within the liberal political traditions, care is regarded as a private matter, a problem of ethics rather than justice. Social justice is framed as an issue of economics (re/distribution), culture (recognition) and/or politics (representation).

Decline and Conservation of Bumble Bees [PDF]
Annual Review of Entomology, 2008 Declines in bumble bee species in the past 60 years are well documented in Europe, where they are driven primarily by habitat loss and declines in floral abundance and diversity resulting from agricultural intensification. Impacts of habitat degradation and fragmentation are likely to be compounded by the social nature of bumble bees and their largely ...

The abundance and pollen foraging behaviour of bumble bees in relation to population size of whortleberry (Vaccinium uliginosum). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Habitat fragmentation can have severe effects on plant pollinator interactions, for example changing the foraging behaviour of pollinators. To date, the impact of plant population size on pollen collection by pollinators has not yet been investigated ...
