Spontaneous Lorentz and Diffeomorphism Violation, Massive Modes, and Gravity [PDF]
, 2008 Theories with spontaneous local Lorentz and diffeomorphism violation contain massless Nambu-Goldstone modes, which arise as field excitations in the minimum of the symmetry-breaking potential.

Warm Temperatures Reduce Flower Attractiveness and Bumblebee Foraging
Insects, 2021 Simple Summary In the context of climate warming, modifications in plant pollination and reproductive success constitute a crucial issue. Modifications of both floral signals (display, size of flowers) and rewards (nectar and pollen) due to increased air

Insects Associated with Michigan Bumblebees (\u3ci\u3eBombus\u3c/i\u3e Spp.) [PDF]
, 2017 (excerpt) Studies of insect associates of bumblebees are not new. For example, Tuck (1896, 1897) reported over 50 species of insects associated with nests of British bumblebees. Sladen (1912) discussed nest associates and parasites of European bumblebees,

Spatial Relation of Bumblebees (Hymenoptera-Apidae) with Host-Plant and their Conservation Issues: An Outlook from Urban Ecosystem of Kathmandu Valley, Nepal [PDF]
, 2019 Ecology and conservation status of bumblebee species remains poorly understood, especially in rapidly degrading urban ecosystems, which is important considering the role of bumblebees in the pollinations. We collected more than 200 bumblebee (Bombus

Strain-level analysis reveals the vertical microbial transmission during the life cycle of bumblebee
Microbiome, 2021 Microbial acquisition and development of the gut microbiota impact the establishment of a healthy host-microbes symbiosis. Compared with other animals, the eusocial bumblebees and honeybees possess a simple, recurring, and similar set of gut microbiota ...

Einstein–Bumblebee-dilaton black hole solution
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023 We obtain new black hole solutions in a Einstein–Bumblebee-scalar theory. By starting with a Einstein–Bumblebee theory in ( $$D+d$$ D + d ) dimensions, the scalar dilaton field and its interaction with the gravitational and Bumblebee fields are obtained ...

The role of automated feedback in training and retaining biological recorders for citizen science [PDF]
, 2016 The rapid rise of citizen science, with lay people forming often extensive biodiversity sensor networks, is seen as a solution to the mismatch between data demand and supply while simultaneously engaging citizens with environmental topics.
