Distribution and transmission of American foulbrood in honey bees [PDF]
, 2006 The distribution of Paenibacillus larvae spores, the causative agent of American foulbrood, was studied on three different levels in the honey bee system; the apiary level, the colony level and the individual honey bee level.

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 321-332, April 2026.ABSTRACT Ant‐flower interactions are prevalent in many ecosystems, yet their ecological significance remains poorly understood, particularly in isolated systems like the Galapagos Islands, where unique biotic assemblages create distinct interaction networks.

Pollination by the locally endangered island flying fox (Pteropus hypomelanus) enhances fruit production of the economically important durian (Durio zibethinus) [PDF]
, 2017 Fruit bats provide valuable pollination services to humans through a unique coevolutionary relationship with chiropterophilous plants. However, chiropterophily in the Old World and the pollination roles of large bats, such as flying foxes (Pteropus spp.,

Large pollen loads of a South African asclepiad do not interfere with the foraging behaviour or efficiency of pollinating honey bees [PDF]
, 2012 The pollen of asclepiads (Asclepiadoideae, Apocynaceae) and most orchids (Orchidaceae) are packaged as large aggregations known as pollinaria that are removed as entire units by pollinators.

Learning about larceny: experience can bias bumble bees to rob nectar [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2018 How do nectar-feeding animals choose among alternative flower-handling tactics? Such decisions have consequences not only for animal fitness (via food intake) but for plant fitness as well: many animals can choose to “rob” nectar through holes chewed in the base of a flower instead of “legitimately” collecting it through the flower’s opening, thus ...

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2012 Floral visitor species are often assumed to act either mutualistically towards plants (as pollinators) or to exploit them (as nectar-robbers or as nectar or pollen thieves).

NECTAR ROBBING BY THE RED-TAILED COMET SAPPHO SPARGANURUS: THE VALUE OF CITIZEN SCIENCE TO DOCUMENT INFREQUENT BEHAVIOR IN BIRDS [PDF]
Nectar robbing by hummingbirds, the extraction of nectar using perforations instead of the corolla, is seldom documented in the literature. Here, we present the first photographic record of nectar robbing by the Red-tailed Comet Sappho sparganurus in ...

A test for Allee effects in the self-incompatible wasp-pollinated milkweed Gomphocarpus physocarpus [PDF]
, 2009 It has been suggested that plants which are good colonizers will generally have either an ability to self-fertilize or a generalist pollination system. This prediction is based on the idea that these reproductive traits should confer resistance to Allee ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We reveal that the downward floral orientation in Polygonatum cyrtonema functions as a key floral trait, increasing visitation by effective bumble bees and reducing interference from inefficient insects, while also shielding reproductive tissues from rain and solar radiation.
