Factors Influencing the Reproductive Ability of Male Bees: Current Knowledge and Further Directions
Insects, 2021 Bumblebees and honeybees are very important pollinators and play a vital role in agricultural and natural ecosystems. The quality of their colonies is determined by the queens and the reproductive drones of mother colonies, and mated drones transmit ...

The effect of the brood and the queen on early gene expression in bumble bee workers' brains
Scientific Reports, 2022 Worker reproduction in social insects is often regulated by the queen, but can be regulated by the brood and nestmates, who may use different mechanisms to induce the same outcomes in subordinates. Analysis of brain gene expression patterns in bumble bee

Pollination Services of Mango Flower Pollinators [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2015 Measuring wild pollinator services in agricultural production is very important in the context of sustainable management. In this study, we estimated the contribution of native pollinators to mango fruit set production of two mango cultivars Mangifera indica (L). cv. 'Sala' and 'Chok Anan'. Visitation rates of pollinators on mango flowers and number of

Review: Pollination, Pollinated and Pollinators Interaction in Pakistan
Journal of Bioresource Management, 2014 The agriculture sector is important in the overall economy and export earnings of Pakistan. Pollination is an essential ecosystem service that depends on symbiosis between species, the pollinated and the pollinator. Animal mediated pollination contributes to the sexual production of over 90% species of modern angiosperms.

Dufour’s gland analysis reveals caste and physiology specific signals in Bombus impatiens
Scientific Reports, 2021 Reproductive division of labor in insect societies is regulated through multiple concurrent mechanisms, primarily chemical and behavioral. Here, we examined if the Dufour’s gland secretion in the primitively eusocial bumble bee Bombus impatiens signals ...
