The complete mitochondrial genome of Apis mellifera jemenitica (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae), the Arabian honey bee

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The mitochondrial genome of a worker Apis mellifera jemenitica was 16,623 bp. It consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs and a control region. Phylogenetic analyses suggest a close relationship between A. m. jemenitica,

Honey Bee and Bumble Bee Antiviral Defense [PDF]

Viruses, 2018
Bees are important plant pollinators in both natural and agricultural ecosystems. Managed and wild bees have experienced high average annual colony losses, population declines, and local extinctions in many geographic regions. Multiple factors, including virus infections, impact bee health and longevity.

Native ants learn how to deal with cues of invasive species: responses to footprints of invasive ants are shaped by experience

Oikos, EarlyView.
Invasive ants threaten biodiversity worldwide. They may benefit from being novel if native species fail to show appropriate responses to their cues. Cues include chemical footprints (or ‘home‐range markings' in ants) left by all walking insects, which resemble cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs).

Socio‐ecological correlates of wildlife species identification across rural communities in northern Tanzania

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Citizen or community science has the potential to inform wildlife management by including the general public in research and generating datasets on human perceptions of wildlife population dynamics and human–wildlife interactions. These contributions are especially valuable in areas with limited formal capacity for wildlife monitoring. However,

Melittin promotes dexamethasone in the treatment of adjuvant rheumatoid arthritis in rats

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an erosive-destructive inflammation of the joints, and the chronic, long-term stiffness and deformation induced by RA are some of the symptoms of arthritis that are difficult to treat.

The mitochondrial genome of Apis mellifera simensis (Hymenoptera: Apidae), an Ethiopian honey bee

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The complete mitochondrial genome of Apis mellifera simensis was 16,523 bp long. The 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs, and 22 tRNAs resembled other Apis mitogenomes. The location of this Apis subspecies in our phylogenetic tree supported the hypothesis

Primary producers' positions towards bears and bear conservation: Insights for human–bear coexistence

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract We present primary producers' (farmers', livestock breeders', beekeepers') positions towards bears and bear conservation as documented through semi‐structured interviews within the frame of human dimensions actions of LIFE projects implemented between 2015 and 2022 in Greece.

Antagonistic effects of endophytic fungi from Camellia reticulata pedicels on yeasts: implications for antimicrobial mechanism of nectar

Frontiers in Plant Science
Endophytic fungi are extensive in plant tissues and involved in the defense against stress from harmful microbes. The interaction between pedicel endophytic fungi and nectar yeasts is critical for maintaining nectar homeostasis.

Trapping is not effective for limiting damage by Vespa velutina in vineyards

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Vespa velutina is an invasive hornet that damages grapes. Baited traps are commonly used to mitigate them, but trap effectiveness in vineyards has not been tested. Our study found no significant reduction in damage from trapping, and high and variable by‐catch rates. Sustainable vineyard management methods should be explored.

Sensitivity and Resistance of Parasitic Mites (Varroa destructor, Tropilaelaps spp. and Acarapis woodi) Against Amitraz and Amitraz-Based Product Treatment: A Systematic Review

Insects
Resistance to amitraz in Varroa destructor mites poses a significant challenge to global beekeeping, leading to the declining efficacy of treatments and increased colony losses. This study aims to comprehensively map, characterize, and analyze the status
