No evidence for negative impacts of acute sulfoxaflor exposure on bee olfactory conditioning or working memory
Systemic insecticides such as neonicotinoids and sulfoximines can be present in the nectar
and pollen of treated crops, through which foraging bees can become acutely exposed …

Poison or potion: effects of sunflower phenolamides on bumble bees and their gut parasite
Simple Summary Bee declines have been reported worldwide, partly due to parasite spread
induced by human activities. However, bees may forage on specific floral resources to face …

Host density drives viral, but not trypanosome, transmission in a key pollinator
Supplemental feeding of wildlife populations can locally increase the density of individuals,
which may in turn impact disease dynamics. Flower strips are a widely used intervention in …
