Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

Predictive markers of honey bee colony collapse.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Across the Northern hemisphere, managed honey bee colonies, Apis mellifera, are currently affected by abrupt depopulation during winter and many factors are suspected to be involved, either alone or in combination.

Varroa destructor shapes the unique viral landscapes of the honey bee populations of the Azores archipelago

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens
The worldwide dispersal of the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor from its Asian origins has fundamentally transformed the relationship of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) with several of its viruses, via changes in transmission and/or host ...

Seasonal shifts in mitochondrial and reactive oxygen species metabolism are linked to ultrastructural remodelling in honey bees (Apis mellifera)

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 12, Page 4745-4770, 15 June 2026.
Abstract figure legend Seasonal changes profoundly reshape honey bee mitochondrial metabolism. In winter, bees shift from complex I (CI)‐ to mitochondrial glycerol‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (mG3PDH)‐ and complex II (CII)‐linked respiration. Despite lower CI‐linked respiration ATP production is maintained, suggesting increased energetic efficiency in ...

Genetic profile of Varroa destructor infesting Apis mellifera iberiensis colonies

open access: yes, 2008
The genetic profile of the Varroa destructor mite infesting Apis mellifera iberiensis colonies located in the Iberian Peninsula and also on Canarian and Balearic islands was determined through standard molecular assays (RFLP of the mitochondrial cox1 ...

Varroa destructor Mites Can Nimbly Climb from Flowers onto Foraging Honey Bees. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Varroa destructor, the introduced parasite of European honey bees associated with massive colony deaths, spreads readily through populations of honey bee colonies, both managed colonies living crowded together in apiaries and wild colonies living widely ...

Varroa destructor: how does it harm Apis mellifera honey bees and what can be done about it?

open access: yesEmerging Topics in Life Sciences, 2020
Since its migration from the Asian honey bee (Apis cerana) to the European honey bee (Apis mellifera), the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor has emerged as a major issue for beekeeping worldwide.

Spider Mites: Genetic Models to Inform Herbivore and Chelicerate Biology

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 5, May 2026.
Chelicerates include spiders, scorpions and ticks, and also spider mites that damage crops. Many of the features that make spider mites crop pests have facilitated their adoption as genetically tractable chelicerates. The expanding genetic toolkit developed using spider mites has potential to inform genetic studies in other chelicerates as well ...

Distinct Host Gene Expression Patterns Induced by Covert Deformed Wing Virus Infections in Honeybees (Apis mellifera)

open access: yesArchives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 121, Issue 4, April 2026.
A transcriptome study was established in Ordu, Türkiye using genetically related A. mellifera anatoliaca colonies founded by super‐sister queens. Nurse bees were collected and high‐quality RNA was sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform, and analyzed on the Sabancı University HPC cluster (1).
