Science of the Total Environment, 2022 Pollinator decline is a grave challenge worldwide. One of the main culprits for this decline is the widespread use of, and pollinators' chronic exposure to, agrochemicals.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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

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

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,
