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

Global warming and plant–pollinator mismatches
Emerging Topics in Life Sciences, 2020 The mutualism between plants and their pollinators provides globally important ecosystem services, but it is likely to be disrupted by global warming that can cause mismatches between both halves of this interaction.

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 ...
