Expression analyses of chemosensory genes provide insights into evolution of gustatory receptor genes in the bumble bee Bombus impatiens

BMC Genomics
Background The chemoreceptor gene families, which include gustatory, ionotropic, and odorant receptor gene families, are highly conserved across the insects yet also contain many recently duplicated, species-specific genes in particular clades.

Physiological cerebrospinal fluid interactions between brain and eye structures are altered after long‐duration spaceflight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐duration spaceflight represents an extreme challenge, triggering adaptive responses including spaceflight‐associated neuro‐ocular syndrome, characterized by diminished visual acuity and ocular changes, which is a significant health risk for Mars missions.

CREATING & EVALUATING Artificial Domiciles for Bumble Bees

, 2006
Most biologists agree that the availability of suitable nesting sites is a limiting factor for bumble bee populations (Free, 1959). Bumble bees always select areas with preexisting insulation for nesting.

Locke(d) in a Dilemma: The Problem of Territorial Authority

Philosophy &Public Affairs, Volume 54, Issue 3, Page 157-168, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT In Lockean social contract theory, the state exercises its authority over territory through property rights. The state has territorial authority over the property it and its citizens claim. This authority is legitimate when the state has the consent of the governed and effectively governs. In this paper, I argue that there is an irreconcilable

Bumble bee gut microbial community structure differs between species and commercial suppliers, but metabolic potential remains largely consistent

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Bumble bees are key pollinators for natural and agricultural plant communities. Their health and performance are supported by a core gut microbiota composed of a few bacterial taxa. However, the taxonomic composition and community structure of bumble bee

Bumble-bees

Though bumble-bees constitute only a small group of a few hundred species, they are nevertheless among the largest and most conspicuous insects. Owing to their in­dustry in pollinating certain useful plants, they are of con­siderable economic importance ...

Comparison of Pesticide Exposure in Honey Bees (Hymenoptera : Apidae) and Bumble Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae): Implications for Risk Assessments

, 2019
To date, regulatory pesticide risk assessments have relied on the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) (Hymenoptera: Apidae) as a surrogate test species for estimating the risk of pesticide exposure to all bee species.

Valorization of fruit pits from Prunus laurocerasus and Prunus cerasifera as agro‐food byproducts: Bioactive properties and safety assessment for potential food additive applications

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 6002-6014, 15 August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Food additives are widely used to extend the shelf life of foods and maintain their quality. In this study, the potential of Prunus laurocerasus and Prunus cerasifera fruit pits (endocarp and seed) as food additives was investigated in terms of cytotoxicity, antigenotoxicity, antioxidant activity, enzymatic anti‐browning, and urease
