Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of mutualism between Bombus terrestris and its microbiota by use of microcolonies
Ivan Meeus,Veerle Mommaerts,Annelies Billiet,Hadi Mosallanejad,Tom Van de Wiele,Felix L. Wäckers,Guy Smagghe +6 more
TL;DR: Investigation of whether an alteration in microbiota could influence the fitness of the generalist pollinator Bombus terrestris found results may open new avenues in the mass-rearing of bumblebees used for the biological pollination in agriculture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of entomotoxicity of the plant lectin from Hippeastrum hybrid (Amaryllis) in Spodoptera littoralis larvae.
TL;DR: The potential of mannose-specific lectin from Hippeastrum hybrid (Amaryllis) bulbs as pest control agents is confirmed and light is shed on the mechanism underlying lectin entomotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of sugar syrup and pollen diet on the bacterial diversity in the gut of indoor-reared bumblebees (Bombus terrestris)
Annelies Billiet,Ivan Meeus,Filip Van Nieuwerburgh,Dieter Deforce,Felix L. Wäckers,Guy Smagghe +5 more
TL;DR: Diet could be used to modulate the bacterial composition in the gut to improve the health of mass-produced bumblebees used for biological pollination and provides new insights for bumblebee breeders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kristof De Schutter,Clauvis Nji Tizi Taning,L Van Daele,Els J.M. Van Damme,Peter Dubruel,Guy Smagghe +5 more
TL;DR: In the field of the Field Grand Challenge, this articleinsc has been used for the first time in 2019, where the winner was chosen based on the criteria of the field challenge.
Journal ArticleDOI
