We investigated the process of sexual maturation in winged queens of the fire ant Solenopsis invicta, a species with two distinct forms of social organizat... Laurent Keller and Kenneth G. Ross - 《Behav.ecol.sociobiol》 被引量: 303发表: 1993年 When bees hamper the production of honey: lexi...
mellifera and Drosophila species. D The gene structure of honeybee Pax6 genes (eyeless in blue color and twin of eyeless in red color) and their expressed mRNAs and encoded proteins; E Multiple alignment of the Arthropod Pax6 proteins. Two conserved domains (PAX and HOX domains) were indicated...
Raptors are only part of a much bigger picture, as 327 species, many of them also migrants, have been recorded in the region altogether. White and black storks, and Eurasian cranes, all dramatically large birds, pass through. But there is a multitude of small...
The infection withN. ceranaespores significantly reduced the longevity of honey bees when a diet based only on sugar syrup was administered (Fig.S3and TableS3). However, when beebread was administered as complementary feed, the infection did not cause any significant effects on survival rates com...
Figure 7. Screen captures of bee foraging data from bi-directional bee counters, 1995. The scrollable table and chart show a single colony's daily forager activity (bee egress in red, bee ingress out blue) over 24 h. The data table can be accessed by tapping the activity p...
In this latter case, the camera's magnifying power renders the infection in sci-fi terms, as if we've stumbled into a discarded scene from David Cronenberg's The Fly." This is a strange and strangely moving film that raises questions of species survival in cosmic as well as apiary terms...
Unlike other insects in temperate climates, the honey bee maintains an elevated body temperature throughout the frigid winter. It does so by forming a cluster and metabolically burning honey to produce heat. Thus, survival of the species depends upon the efficient gathering of nectar and its ...
Here’s a really handy chart that covers honeyberry pollinator compatibility, and tells you which varieties are good pollinators for others. They’re bee-pollinated, and with their early flowers, they provide much-needed food for native pollinator bees. A favorite of bumblebees and ours are ...
The gut microbiota of adult honey bees was analyzed before (Pre-OTC) and after (Post-OTC) hive administration with oxytetracycline.a,bBar plots illustrating the relative and absolute abundance of bacterial species in the gut microbiota of adult honey bee samples as determined by V4 region 16S rRN...
The microsporidia parasite Nosema contributes to the steep global decline of honey bees that are critical pollinators of food crops. There are two species of Nosema that have been found to infect honey bees, Nosema apis and N. ceranae. Genome sequencing
