Effect of pollinator size on seed set in Lamium album var. barbatum [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background and aims – Previous researchers have demonstrated that geographic variation in pollinator community composition can generate diversity in the floral traits of animal-pollinated plants.

Genus-Wide Characterization of Nuclear Mitochondrial DNAs in Bumblebee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Genomes
Insects, 2021 In eukaryotes, DNA of mitochondria is transferred into the nucleus and forms nuclear mitochondrial DNAs (NUMTs). Taking advantage of the abundant genomic resources for bumblebees, in this study, we de novo generated mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes ...

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2022 Many bumblebee species are declining due to a loss of semi-natural habitats in agricultural landscapes resulting in diminished forage and nest sites. Anecdotal experience indicates that bumblebees nest in straw bales, but scientific evidence is lacking ...

Rotating BTZ-like black hole and central charges in Einstein-bumblebee gravity
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.

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Bumblebee populations are declining. Factors that impact the size and success of colonies act by either limiting resource availability (bottom‐up regulation) or causing mortality, for example, pesticides, disease, and possibly predation (top‐down ...

Metric-affine bumblebee gravity: classical aspects
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021 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.

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.

Interspecific Variation in Bumblebee Performance on Pollen Diet: New Insights for Mitigation Strategies. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Bumblebees (i.e. Bombus genus) are major pollinators of flowering wild plants and crops. Although many species are currently in decline, a number of them remain stable or are even expanding.

Influence of Pollination Technique on Greenhouse Tomato Production
Journal of Agricultural and Marine Sciences, 2003 An experiment was carried out to study the effects of four pollination techniques; Bumblebees (Bombus terrerstris L.), plant growth bioregulator (PGB) (Parachlorophenoxy acetic acid), hand vibration, and control (natural pollination) on tomato ...

Radiative corrections in bumblebee electrodynamics
Physics Letters B, 2015 We investigate some quantum features of the bumblebee electrodynamics in flat spacetimes. The bumblebee field is a vector field that leads to a spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking.
