Diverse Diets with Consistent Core Microbiome in Wild Bee Pollen Provisions
Insects, 2020 Bees collect pollen from flowers for their offspring, and by doing so contribute critical pollination services for our crops and ecosystems. Unlike many managed bee species, wild bees are thought to obtain much of their microbiome from the environment ...

Comparison of Cuticular Hydrocarbons in Three Populations of the Carpenter Bee “Ceratina calcarata” to help Understand their Role in Social Evolution [PDF]
, 2016 For the second summer in a row I analysed the composition of cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) on carpenter bees Ceratina calcarata, this time in populations from Missouri and Georgia as well as from New Hampshire.

Macronutrient composition in pollen affects development and survival in wild bees
Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.Small carpenter bees (Ceratina calcarata) were reared on diets formulated with black poplar and dandelion pollen, while closely monitoring developmental metrics, lipid content and survival. Macronutrient analyses on both pollen types revealed dandelion pollen contained lower levels of protein, essential amino acids and several fatty acids, which ...

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

Is bee‐avoidance by bird‐pollinated flowers driven by nectar robbing in Erica?
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 1046-1060, April 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nectar robbing (consuming nectar from a perforated flower without pollinating) generally negatively affects plant fecundity, and plants exhibit multiple mechanisms in defence.

Insights into Api m 10‐Isoforms and Splice Variants: More Than One Major IgE‐Binding Epitope
Clinical and Translational Allergy, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.The structural, clinical and preclinical insights into Api m 10 and its immunodominant epitopes gained in this study provide substantial insights for the future development of active and passive VIT as well as further treatment approaches. ABSTRACT Background Honey bee venom (HBV) often triggers severe IgE‐mediated allergies.
