Conserved, yet disruption-prone, gut microbiomes in neotropical bumblebees
mSphere, 2023 Bumblebees are important pollinators in natural ecosystems and agriculture, but many species are declining. Temperate-zone bumblebees have host-specific and beneficial gut microbiomes, which may have a role in mediating the effects of stressors. However,

Floral Categorization by Bumblebees: The Perceptual and the Functional [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2022 This study examines generalization and perceptual similarity judgments in bumblebees (Bombus impatiens) and addresses whether category formation of floral stimuli is based upon perceptual floral features alone or foraging experiences from reward ...

Humans Share More Preferences for Floral Phenotypes With Pollinators Than With Pests
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Studies on the selection of floral traits usually consider pollinators and sometimes herbivores. However, humans also exert selection on floral traits of ornamental plants.

BumbleBee: A Transformer for Music
CoRR, 2021 We will introduce BumbleBee, a transformer model that will generate MIDI music data . We will tackle the issue of transformers applied to long sequences by implementing a longformer generative model that uses dilating sliding windows to compute the attention layers. We will compare our results to that of the music transformer and Long-Short term memory

The Pathogens Spillover and Incidence Correlation in Bumblebees and Honeybees in Slovenia
Pathogens, 2021 Slovenia has a long tradition of beekeeping and a high density of honeybee colonies, but less is known about bumblebees and their pathogens. Therefore, a study was conducted to define the incidence and prevalence of pathogens in bumblebees and to ...

Gap perception in bumblebees [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2018 Abstract A number of insects fly over long distances below the natural canopy where the physical environment is highly cluttered consisting of obstacles of varying shape, size and texture. While navigating within such environments animals need to perceive and disambiguate environmental features that might obstruct their flight. The most

Foraging Bumblebees Selectively Attend to Other Types of Bees Based on Their Reward-Predictive Value
Insects, 2020 Using social information can be an efficient strategy for learning in a new environment while reducing the risks associated with trial-and-error learning. Whereas social information from conspecifics has long been assumed to be preferentially attended by
