Dynamics of the Honeybee (Apis mellifera) Gut Microbiota Throughout the Overwintering Period in Canada

Microorganisms, 2020
Microbial symbionts inhabiting the honeybee gut (i.e., gut microbiota) are essential for food digestion, immunity, and gut protection of their host. The taxonomic composition of the gut microbiota is dynamic throughout the honeybee life cycle and the ...

Three questions about the eco-physiology of overwintering underground.

Ecology Letters, 2020
In cold environments ectotherms can be dormant underground for long periods. In 1941 Cowles proposed an ecological trade-off involving the depth at which ectotherms overwintered: on warm days, only shallow reptiles could detect warming soils and become ...

Warmer autumns and winters could reduce honey bee overwintering survival with potential risks for pollination services

Scientific Reports
Honey bees and other pollinators are critical for food production and nutritional security but face multiple survival challenges. The effect of climate change on honey bee colony losses is only recently being explored.

Effects of salinity on growth, nutrient composition, fatty acid composition and energy metabolism of Scylla paramamosain during indoor overwintering

, 2020
Three salinities (4‰, 12‰ and 25‰) were selected to determine the effects of different salinities on the growth, survival, nutrition and energy metabolism of Scylla paramamosain during indoor overwintering.

First Insights on Early Host Plants and Dispersal Behavior of Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) from Overwintering to Crop Colonization

Insects, 2020
Simple Summary Following its first detection in North Italy in 2012, H. halys has become a serious threat in many crops, including hazelnut. Since favorite host plants and dispersal behavior of overwintered adults of H. halys before crop colonization are

Influence of Landscape Factors and Abiotic Conditions on Dispersal Behavior and Overwintering Site Selection by Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2020
Since the initial detection of the invasive Halyomorpha halys (Stål) in the United States in the late 1990s, this insect has emerged as a severe agricultural and nuisance pest.

Effect of stocking density on mortality rate, physiological status and nutrient contents of Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis during overwintering cultivation

, 2020
The Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis (H. Milne Edwards), is an important economic aquaculture species in China. It is very popular within Chinese consumers for the abundant nutrition and delicious taste.

Assessing the viability of genebanked seeds from rare, wild plants native to the United States using the D.E.A.D. paradigm

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Genebanks must maintain viable seeds for decades. Seeds that germinate are clearly alive, but some seeds, often from wild populations, do not germinate because they are dormant, empty, aged, or damaged (D.E.A.D.). This work evaluates the effects of D.E.A.D.

The different dietary sugars modulate the composition of the gut microbiota in honeybee during overwintering

BMC Microbiology, 2019
The health of honeybee colonies is critical for bee products and agricultural production, and colony health is closely associated with the bacteria in the guts of honeybees. Although colony loss in winter is now the primary restriction in beekeeping, the
