Identification of fungi isolated from commercial bumblebee colonies [PDF]
PeerJFungi can have important beneficial and detrimental effects on animals, yet our understanding of the diversity and function of most bee-associated fungi is poor.

Signals for Lorentz Violation in Post-Newtonian Gravity [PDF]
, 2006 The pure-gravity sector of the minimal Standard-Model Extension is studied in the limit of Riemann spacetime. A method is developed to extract the modified Einstein field equations in the limit of small metric fluctuations about the Minkowski vacuum ...

Does "Flight of the Bumblebee" resemble bumblebee flight?
, 2022 "Flight of the Bumblebee" is one of the rare pieces of classical music which, through its association with bees, has cemented its place in pop culture. However, it is unclear whether its composer, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, actually took inspiration from bumblebee flight patterns.

Oikos, EarlyView.Most insect pollinators are ectothermic and rely on external heat sources for temperature regulation. Forests, with their diverse canopy structures and sunlight penetration levels, create a mosaic of microclimates influencing these insects' behaviour.

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2009 Flowers of alien invasive plants can be pollen limited due to a lack of effective pollinators. The alien Impatiens glandulifera is predominantly visited by bumblebees in its invaded range. There bumblebees pollinate I.

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2020 Species composition, distribution, and trophic relationships of bumblebees are studied in six types of urban habitat: urban parks, botanical gardens, least-disturbed areas within the city, residential areas, and roadsides.

Nambu-Goldstone and Massive Modes in Gravitational Theories with Spontaneous Lorentz Breaking
, 2008 Spontaneous breaking of local Lorentz symmetry is of interest as a possible mechanism originating from physics at the Planck scale. If such breaking occurs, however, it raises the questions of what the fate of the Nambu-Goldstone modes is, whether a ...

Bumblebee Behavior on Flowers, but Not Initial Attraction, Is Altered by Short-Term Drought Stress
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Climate change is leading to increasing drought and higher temperatures, both of which reduce soil water levels and consequently water availability for plants.

Polarization effects in Kerr black hole shadow due to the coupling between photon and bumblebee field [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We present firstly the equation of motion for the photon coupled to a special bumblebee vector field in a Kerr black hole spacetime and find that the propagation of light depends on its polarization due to the birefringence phenomenon.

Oikos, EarlyView.Invasive ants threaten biodiversity worldwide. They may benefit from being novel if native species fail to show appropriate responses to their cues. Cues include chemical footprints (or ‘home‐range markings' in ants) left by all walking insects, which resemble cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs).
