Assessing pathogen risk for wild bumblebees (Bombus spp., Apidae) in Canada

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Pathogen spillover poses a significant threat to wild bumble bees (Bombus spp.) in Canada. Our study maps areas of overlap between high conservation priority regions for bumble bees and regions of pathogen spillover risk from managed bees, incorporating uncertainty in pathogen prevalence.

Specialized metabolites present in Camellia reticulata nectar inhibit the growth of nectar‐inhabiting microorganisms

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
Plant specialized metabolites are species-specific compounds that help plants adapt and survive in constantly changing ecological environments. Nectar contains various specialized metabolites, essential for maintaining nectar homeostasis.

Discrimination between transient and persistent bacteria harbored in the digestive tract of larval Galleria mellonella

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The caterpillars of the greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) are emerging models to study innate immunity and plastic biodegradation. Both of these processes are impacted by the associations between the insect host and its gut microbiome. Although bacterial flora harbored by the larvae have been characterized, little is known

Are honey bees altering wild plant–bee interactions in reconstructed native habitats? An investigation of summer season effects in row‐crop agroecosystems with prairie strips

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
We investigated the compatibility of beekeeping with pollinator conservation in ‘prairie strips’ a conservation practice integrating native prairie habitat into agricultural environments. At prairie strip sites with and without a honey bee apiary, we analysed plant–bee interactions and bumble bee body conditions to determine the effect of apiaries on ...

Local and landscape features of urban fragments determine the occurrence of stingless bees As características locais e paisagísticas dos fragmentos urbanos determinam a ocorrência de uma espécie de abelhas sem ferrão

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Both local and landscape factors associated with habitat availability and quality determine the persistence of stingless bees across fragments. Places where the species occurs have local and landscape characteristics distinctive from those where it is absent.

Associations between soil characteristics and ground‐nesting bees on farms Associations entre les caractéristiques du sol et les abeilles terricoles dans les exploitations agricoles

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We collected ground‐nesting bees at 35 farms over two summers and assessed their abundance, diversity, and community composition in relation to local soil characteristics (texture, compaction, slope, and ground cover). Ground‐nesting bee abundance and species richness increased with bare ground and sand content.
