Predicting species identity of bumblebees through analysis of flight buzzing sounds

Bioacoustics, 2017
We present a study of buzzing sounds of several common species of bumblebees, with the focus on automatic classification of bumblebee species and types. Such classification is useful for bumblebee monitoring, which is important in view of evaluating the ...

Light Sensitive Bumblebee Species Are Associated With Forest Habitat and Forest‐Dominated Landscapes [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
We 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 ...

Gustatory sensitivity to amino acids in bumblebee mouthparts [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Bees rely on amino acids from nectar and pollen for essential physiological functions. While nectar typically contains low (less than 1 mM) amino acid concentrations, levels in pollen are higher but variable (10–200 mM).

Climate change winners and losers among North American bumblebees

Biology Letters, 2022
Mounting evidence suggests that climate change, agricultural intensification and disease are impacting bumblebee health and contributing to species’ declines. Identifying how these factors impact insect communities at large spatial and temporal scales is

Fungicide and insecticide exposure adversely impacts bumblebees and pollination services under semi-field conditions.

Environment International, 2021
Sulfoximines, the next generation systemic insecticides developed to replace neonicotinoids, have been shown to negatively impact pollinator development and reproduction.

Bumblebees land rapidly by intermittently accelerating and decelerating toward the surface during visually guided landings

iScience, 2022
Summary: Many flying animals parse visual information to control their landing, whereby they can decelerate smoothly by flying at a constant radial optic expansion rate.
