Behavioral defense strategies of the stingless bee, Austroplebeia australis, against the small hive beetle, Aethina tumida

open access: yes, 2011
Small hive beetle, Aethina tumida Murray, is a parasite of social bee colonies and has become an invasive species, raising concern of the potential threat to native pollinators in its new ranges.

The Form of Agency

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Philosophers often think agency is essentially connected with rationality, intention, or control. However, Minimalists argue that agency is just the power to cause a change; acids and boulders are agents too. Many philosophers treat Minimalism as a wild outlier, assuming its falsity without argument.

Coinvasional disruptions to island pollinator networks

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Biological invasions can adversely affect pollinator diversity by threatening the maintenance of animal‐pollinated plant communities. Although most studies have examined single invasive species, accelerating species introductions driven by global trade highlight the need to understand how multiple co‐occurring invaders jointly influence ...

Pathogen Detection and Phylogenetic Analysis of Aethina tumida Murray in South Korea

open access: yesJournal of Apicultural Science, 2022
The small hive beetle (SHB), Aethina tumida Murray, is a parasite of honey bee colonies and causes the fermentation of honey as well as colony collapse.

eDNA Analysis for Native Cavity‐Nesting Bee Ecology: A Comparison of Data From Brood Cells Contents and Larval DNA

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Artificial bee homes become eDNA reservoirs of insect, plant, fungal, and bacterial taxa providing a non‐invasive way to assess the ecology of wild bee larvae. ABSTRACT While the colonial honeybee is widely recognized by the public as a pollinator, thousands of native bees play an important but often under‐recognized role.

Pollinator Associations of Rare and Endangered Epacris Species (Ericaceae) in Lutruwita/Tasmania: Implications for Conservation

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The breeding systems of Lutruwita/Tasmania's threatened Epacris taxa are poorly known. Our main objective was to determine the pollinators of several endemic species and explore for relationships between pollinators, floral morphology, flowering time and habitat. The Epacris have limited variation in floral traits and exhibit generalist floral

Diversity of Mites Associated With Stingless Bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) in Forest Fragments in Brazil: Empirical Validation of an Efficient and Low‐Cost Sampling Method

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite the importance of understanding mite–bee interactions, standardized and noninvasive methods for sampling mite communities in stingless bee hives remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate a novel, low‐cost sampling technique using a custom‐built suction device, the Portable Mite Aspirator (PMA), for collecting mites from hives of ...

Efficacy of Australian Entomopathogenic Nematodes Against the Pupal Stage of the Small Hive Beetle (Aethina tumida) Under Semi‐Field Conditions

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The small hive beetle (SHB; Aethina tumida) is a major pest of honey bees that has threatened Australia's apiculture industry since its detection in 2002. Worryingly, the impact of SHB may be exacerbated by the recent establishment of Varroa destructor in eastern Australia.

Variations on a Theme: Antennal Lobe Architecture across Coleoptera. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Beetles comprise about 400,000 described species, nearly one third of all known animal species. The enormous success of the order Coleoptera is reflected by a rich diversity of lifestyles, behaviors, morphological, and physiological adaptions.
