Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2017 Bumblebees provide pollination services not only to wildflowers but also to economically important crops. In the context of the global decline of pollinators, there is an increasing interest in determining the pathogen diversity of bumblebee species.

Artificial Diets Modulate Infection Rates by Nosema ceranae in Bumblebees
Microorganisms, 2020 Parasites alter the physiology and behaviour of their hosts. In domestic honey bees, the microsporidia Nosema ceranae induces energetic stress that impairs the behaviour of foragers, potentially leading to colony collapse. Whether this parasite similarly

Level of Genetic Diversity in European Bumblebees is Not Determined by Local Species Abundance
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 Bumblebee species with declining population trends tend to show lower genetic diversity levels than stable species. The observed difference might be explained by abundance differences, with declining bumblebee species having lower genetic diversity ...

Honeybee visitation to shared flowers increases Vairimorpha ceranae prevalence in bumblebees
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Vairimorpha (=Nosema) ceranae is a widespread pollinator parasite that commonly infects honeybees and wild pollinators, including bumblebees. Honeybees are highly competent V.

Numerical cognition in bees and other insects [PDF]
, 2016 The ability to perceive the number of objects has been known to exist in vertebrates for a few decades, but recent behavioral investigations have demonstrated that several invertebrate species can also be placed on the continuum of numerical abilities ...

Wilting wildflowers and bummed‐out bees: Climate change threatens US state symbols
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Species designated as state symbols in the United States carry cultural importance, embody historical heritage and maintain long‐standing linkages to Indigenous traditions. However, they are threatened by climate change and even face the risk of local or global extinction.

Pattern of population structuring between Belgian and Estonian bumblebees [PDF]
, 2019 Several population genetic studies investigated the extent of gene flow and population connectivity in bumblebees. In general, no restriction in gene flow is considered for mainland populations of common bumblebee species.

Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.
