Effects of spinetoram and glyphosate on physiological biomarkers and gut microbes in Bombus terrestris

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
The sublethal effects of pesticide poisoning will have significant negative impacts on the foraging and learning of bees and bumblebees, so it has received widespread attention.

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 ...

Gut microbiome drives individual memory variation in bumblebees

Nature Communications, 2021
The potential of the gut microbiome as a driver of individual cognitive differences in natural populations of animals remains unexplored. Here, using metagenomic sequencing of individual bumblebee hindguts, we find a positive correlation between the ...

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,

Experimental cross species transmission of a major viral pathogen in bees is predominantly from honeybees to bumblebees

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2021
Cross-species transmission of a pathogen from a reservoir to a recipient host species, spillover, can have major impacts on biodiversity, domestic species and human health. Deformed wing virus (DWV) is a panzootic RNA virus in honeybees that is causal in

Phylogenomic Analyses of Snodgrassella Isolates from Honeybees and Bumblebees Reveal Taxonomic and Functional Diversity

bioRxiv, 2021
The microbiome of honeybees (Apis spp.) and bumblebees (Bombus spp.) is highly conserved and represented by few phylotypes. This simplicity in taxon composition makes the bee’s microbiome an emergent model organism for the study of gut microbial ...

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.

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,

Bumblebees moving up: shifts in elevation ranges in the Pyrenees over 115 years

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2020
In a warming climate, species are expected to shift their geographical ranges to higher elevations and latitudes, and if interacting species shift at different rates, networks may be disrupted. To quantify the effects of ongoing climate change, repeating

The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization [PDF]

, 2015
Background: The shift from solitary to social behavior is one of the major evolutionary transitions. Primitively eusocial bumblebees are uniquely placed to illuminate the evolution of highly eusocial insect societies.
