The Diagnostic Value of qPCR Quantification of Paenibacillus larvae in Hive Debris and Adult Bees for Predicting the Onset of American Foulbrood

Veterinary Sciences
American foulbrood (AFB) is a serious infectious disease of honeybees (Apis mellifera) caused by Paenibacillus larvae. Increased P. larvae count in hive-related material is associated with an increased risk of AFB. Here, we quantified P.

Succession influences wild bees in a temperate forest landscape: the value of early successional stages in naturally regenerated and planted forests. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
In many temperate terrestrial forest ecosystems, both natural human disturbances drive the reestablishment of forests. Succession in plant communities, in addition to reforestation following the creation of open sites through harvesting or natural ...

Case Report: Clinical and pathological features of a metastasizing malignant mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of the kidney in a Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica)

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
We describe a case of mixed epithelial and stromal tumor (MEST) of the kidney with widespread metastases in an eight-year-old male Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) from the ZOO Ljubljana. The tiger presented with hematuria, and after unsuccessful

Environmental variables and species traits as drivers of wild bee pollination in intensive agroecosystems—A metabarcoding approach

Environmental DNA, 2023
Wild bees are known to be efficient pollinators of wild plants and cultivated crops and they are essential ecosystem service providers. However, wild bee populations have been suffering from significant declines in the last decades mainly due to the use ...

Pursuing best practices for minimizing wild bee captures to support biological research

Conservation Science and Practice, 2022
Bees are important pollinators of wild and domesticated flowering plant species. Over the last 30 years, an increasing number of scientific articles have been published on the ecology and conservation of wild bees. To achieve research goals, many studies

A metabarcoding framework for wild bee assessment in Luxembourg

Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2022
Wild bees are crucial organisms for terrestrial environments. Their ongoing decline could cause irreparable damage to ecosystem services vital to plant reproduction and human food production. The importance of taking swift action to prevent further declines is widely acknowledged, but the current deficit of reliable taxonomic information complicates ...
