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

A review of pollinator conservation and management on infrastructure supporting rights-of-way
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2012 Early successional landscapes along or adjacent to infrastructure installations have been highlighted as potential pollinator conservation zones that provide environmental benefits and ameliorate some of the negative impacts of wildland conversion ...

Potential landscape-scale pollinator networks across Great Britain: structure, stability and influence of agricultural land cover [PDF]
, 2018 Understanding spatial variation in the structure and stability of plant-pollinator networks, and their relationship with anthropogenic drivers, is key to maintaining pollination services and mitigating declines.

The macroeconomic cost of catastrophic pollinator declines [PDF]
, 2016 We develop a computable general equilibrium (CGE) approach to assess the macroeconomic impacts of productivity shocks due to catastrophic losses of pollination ecosystem services at global and regional scales.

Developing European conservation and mitigation tools for pollination services: approaches of the STEP (Status and Trends of European Pollinators) project [PDF]
, 2011 Pollinating insects form a key component of European biodiversity, and provide a vital ecosystem service to crops and wild plants. There is growing evidence of declines in both wild and domesticated pollinators, and parallel declines in plants relying ...

Factors Affecting Pollinators and Pollination [PDF]
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012 While it has been known for at least a decade that the colony numbers of the managed pollinator, the Western honey bee Apis mellifera, was on the decline, pollinator problemwas not well publicized until the Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) further ravaged the honey bee population in the United States [1].
