Spatial Relation of Bumblebees (Hymenoptera-Apidae) with Host-Plant and their Conservation Issues: An Outlook from Urban Ecosystem of Kathmandu Valley, Nepal [PDF]

, 2019
Ecology and conservation status of bumblebee species remains poorly understood, especially in rapidly degrading urban ecosystems, which is important considering the role of bumblebees in the pollinations. We collected more than 200 bumblebee (Bombus

Recognition of flowers by pollinators

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2006
The flowers of angiosperm plants present us with a staggering diversity of signal designs, but how did this diversity evolve? Answering this question requires us to understand how pollinators analyze these signals with their visual and olfactory sense organs, and how the sensory systems work together with post-receptor neural wiring to produce a ...

Autonomous Navigation of Bio‐Intelligent Cyborg Insect Based on Insect Visual Perception

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The bio‐intelligent cyborg insect (BCI) introduces a noninvasive ultraviolet‐based control method, leveraging natural sensory behaviors for adaptive navigation. By integrating biological and artificial intelligence, BCI minimizes habituation and enhances locomotion in complex environments.

Tolerance of Honey Bees to Varroa Mite in the Absence of Deformed Wing Virus

Viruses, 2020
The global spread of the parasitic mite Varroa destructor has emphasized the significance of viruses as pathogens of honey bee (Apis mellifera) populations. In particular, the association of deformed wing virus (DWV) with V.

Integrating pollinators’ movements into pollination models

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Accurate prediction of pollination processes is a key challenge for sustainable food production and the conservation of natural ecosystems. For many plants, pollen dispersal is mediated by the foraging movements of nectarivore animals. While most current models of pollination ecology assume random pollen movements, studies in animal behaviour show how ...
