Light Sensitive Bumblebee Species Are Associated With Forest Habitat and Forest‐Dominated Landscapes [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionWe investigate whether the eye parameter of bumblebees—a visual trait measuring the tradeoff between light sensitivity and visual resolution—is associated with: (i) local habitats, (ii) forest cover at the landscape scale (1 km radius), and (iii) the ...

RNA editing is abundant and correlates with task performance in a social bumblebee
Nature Communications, 2019 Bumblebee workers are genetically highly similar but they show different behaviors such as brood care and foraging. Here the authors report a high level of ADAR-mediated RNA editing in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris and its weak correlation to task ...

A Microsurgical Technique for Removing the Spermatheca of Bumblebee Females and Its Application [PDF]
InsectsTo solve the technical bottleneck caused by the absence of a feasible method for removing the spermatheca in social insects, we developed a microsurgical technique specifically designed for bumblebee females.

Flupyradifurone Exhibits Greater Toxicity to the Asian Bumblebee Bombus lantschouensis Compared to the European Bumblebee Bombus terrestris [PDF]
InsectsPesticides are considered a major factor in the decline of bee populations. Flupyradifurone, a novel insecticide, is believed to be relatively ‘bee-safe’.

Radiative corrections in metric-affine bumblebee model
Physics Letters B, 2022 We consider the metric-affine formulation of bumblebee gravity, derive the field equations, and show that the connection can be written as Levi-Civita of a disformally related metric in which the bumblebee field determines the disformal part.
