How Population Structure and Nest Membership Shape Pathogen Patterns in Bumble Bees
Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.ABSTRACT Host density, genetic diversity and social groups are key factors influencing pathogen transmission in wildlife populations, but their interactions remain poorly understood in insects. Islands can provide natural laboratories with distinct populations that vary in density and genetic diversity, whereby dense, genetically homogeneous ...
