Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This paper argues that variation among individuals—not just species differences—can shape the sensitivity, robustness and resilience of plant–pollinator communities under global change. By linking individual traits and interaction structure to network dynamics, it provides a new framework and future research directions for predicting community ...

Genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of buff‐tailed bumblebees in Asia
Insect Science, EarlyView.This study investigates the genetic differentiation and local adaptation of the buff‐tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) across its European and Asian populations. Using whole‐genome resequencing, we identified distinct genetic differences between populations, with Asian B. terrestris representing a unique genetic resource.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

The use of conspecific and interspecific scent marks by foraging bumblebees and honeybees
, 2001 Bumblebees (Bombus spp.) and honeybees, Apis mellifera, both use odour cues deposited on flowers by previous visitors to improve their foraging efficiency. Short-lived repellent scents are used to avoid probing flowers that have recently been depleted of

Systematics and Ecology of Southeast Asian bumblebees
, 2023 Bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Bombus) are important pollinators, especially in temperate areas. They also inhabit in tropical montane biomes in Southeast Asia (SEA), leading to the question, whether these bumblebees are truly tropical species or are ...

Pollen from multiple sunflower cultivars and species reduces a common bumblebee gut pathogen [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Pathogens are one of the factors driving pollinator declines. Diet can play an important role in mediating pollinator health and resistance to pathogens. Sunflower pollen (Helianthus annuus) dramatically reduced a gut pathogen (Crithidia bombi) of Bombus

Brood parasitism reduces but does not prevent Bombus terrestris reproductive success
Insect Science, EarlyView.Graphical depiction of the colony splitting process. Throughout figures in this paper, results pertaining to host success are represented in blue, and cuckoo success is represented in red. Abstract Cuckoo bumblebees are obligate brood parasites that must invade a colony of their host bumblebee species in order to reproduce.
