Journal ArticleDOI
Disease associations between honeybees and bumblebees as a threat to wild pollinators
TL;DR: In this article, a combination of infection experiments and landscape-scale field data was used to show that honeybee EIDs are indeed widespread infectious agents within the pollinator assemblage.
Journal ArticleDOI
The conservation of bees: a global perspective
TL;DR: It is suggested that future conservation strategies need to prioritise minimising habitat loss, making agricultural habitats bee-friendly, and training scientists and the public in bee taxonomy and identification.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Overall, gene repertoires suggest that the route to advanced eusociality in bees was mediated by many small changes in many genes and processes, and not by notable expansion or depauperation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Condition-dependent expression of virulence in a trypanosome infecting bumblebees
TL;DR: This work tested whether a trypanosome intestinal parasite of bumblebees, Crithidia bombi, expresses condition-dependent virulence, and found a parasite-related change in host resource allocation patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strong context-dependent virulence in a host–parasite system: reconciling genetic evidence with theory
TL;DR: The findings show that strong genotypic host–parasite interactions may indeed be a reliable indicator that apparently benign and highly prevalent parasites are nevertheless exerting a dramatic impact on their host populations.
