Potential expanded pollinator distributions in North America under future climate

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 2, April–June 2025.
Most pollinator species, including monarch butterflies, may gain potential climate space in the future. Shifting to new locations is an additional challenge of climate change. Management, restoration and citizen participation to provide resources and reduce stressors are ecological solutions.

The smell of infection: Disease surveillance in insects using volatile organic compounds

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 81-89, February 2025.
Abstract Insects play crucial roles in nearly every ecosystem and provide a wide array of ecosystem services. However, both managed and wild insect populations face threats from parasites and pathogens, which require surveillance to mitigate. Current infectious disease surveillance methods for insects often involve invasive, time‐consuming and ...

Organic farming and annual flower strips reduce parasite prevalence in honeybees and boost colony growth in agricultural landscapes

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 2146-2156, September 2024.
Landscape features can affect pollinators directly through the provision of food resources and indirectly through modulation of parasite prevalence. To promote honeybee colony health in agro‐ecosystems, our results suggest that organic agriculture and annual flower strips should be prioritized conservation measures. Landscape management should consider

Table_1_Investigating the influence of diet diversity on infection outcomes in a bumble bee (Bombus impatiens) and microsporidian (Nosema bombi) host-pathogen system.xlsx

, 2023
Diet can have an array of both direct and indirect effects on an organism’s health and fitness, which can influence the outcomes of host-pathogen interactions.

Interactions between microsporidia and other members of the microbiome

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
Abstract The microbiome is the collection of microbes that are associated with a host. Microsporidia are intracellular eukaryotic parasites that can infect most types of animals. In the last decade, there has been much progress to define the relationship between microsporidia and the microbiome.

Comparison of seasonal viral prevalence supports honey bees as potential spring pathogen reservoirs for bumble bees

Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2024.
Abstract Bee declines pose a serious risk to agricultural sustainability, wild plant diversity, and the commercial bee industry, generating local and global concerns about bee health. Parasites, including micro‐parasites and macro‐parasites, negatively impact bee population dynamics.

Body mass, temperature, and pathogen intensity differentially affect critical thermal maxima and their population‐level variation in a solitary bee

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.
This study evaluates how body mass, local climate, and pathogen intensity influence heat tolerance and its population‐level variation among individuals of the solitary bee Xenoglossa pruinosa. We did not find evidence of microclimate predicting mean heat tolerance in X.
