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.

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

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 ...

Mapping Bumblebee Community Assemblages and Their Associated Drivers in Yunnan, China [PDF]
BiologyBumblebees are among the most important wild pollinators; however, their populations are declining worldwide due to factors such as climate change, habitat loss, and pesticide use.

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.

The Role of Pathogens in Bumblebee Decline: A Review [PDF]
PathogensBumblebees, the most important wild pollinators in both agricultural and natural ecosystems, are declining worldwide. The global decline of bumblebees may threaten biodiversity, pollination services, and, ultimately, agricultural productivity.

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’.
