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 ...

Rotating BTZ-like black hole and central charges in Einstein-bumblebee gravity [PDF]
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023 We obtain an exact rotating BTZ-like black hole solution by solving the corresponding gravitational field equations and the bumblebee motion equations in Einstein-bumblebee gravity theory.

Braneworlds in bumblebee gravity
Nuclear Physics B, 2023 We investigate thick-brane solutions within the five-dimensional bumblebee gravity in the presence of a real scalar field. Specifically, we implement the Lorentz symmetry breaking scenario within this context and obtain brane-like structures.

Review of the methods to determine the hazard and toxicity of pesticides to bumblebees [PDF]
, 2001 Methods to determine the impact of pesticides on bumblebees are described. They are classified into laboratory tests to determine the acute toxicity and the hazard to bumblebees, (semi) field tests, and brood tests.

Bumblebee resilience to climate change, through plastic and adaptive responses
Global Change Biology, 2021 Bumblebees are ubiquitous, cold‐adapted eusocial bees found worldwide from subarctic to tropical regions of the world. They are key pollinators in most temperate and boreal ecosystems, and both wild and managed populations are significant contributors to

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Neonicotinoids acting on insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are deployed for crop protection, but growing evidence for adverse effects on insect pollinators has led to restricted use of some neonicotinoids in the EU.

A projectome of the bumblebee central complex
eLife, 2021 Insects have evolved diverse and remarkable strategies for navigating in various ecologies all over the world. Regardless of species, insects share the presence of a group of morphologically conserved neuropils known collectively as the central complex ...
