Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are key pollinators that support global agriculture and are long-
established models for developmental and behavioural research. Recently, they have …

Animals are distinguished by having guts—organs that must extract nutrients from food yet
also bar invasion by pathogens. Most guts are colonized by nonpathogenic microorganisms …

Social corbiculate bees are major pollinators. They have characteristic bacterial
microbiomes associated with their hives and their guts. In honeybees and bumblebees …

Commensal microbes in animal guts often help to exclude bacterial pathogens. In honey
bees, perturbing or depleting the gut microbiota increases host mortality rates upon …

Large-scale declines in bee abundance and species richness over the last decade have
sounded an alarm, given the crucial pollination services that bees provide. Population dips …

The widespread use of glyphosate-based formulations to eliminate unwanted vegetation
has increased concerns regarding their effects on non-target organisms, such as honey …

Generalist species able to exploit anthropogenic food sources are becoming increasingly
common in urban environments. Coyotes (Canis latrans) are one such urban generalist that …

The pervasiveness of human imprint on Earth is alarming and most animal species,
including bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophila), must cope with several stressors …

Bumblebees (Bombus) are charismatic and important pollinators. They are one of the best-
studied insect groups, especially in terms of ecology, behavior, and social structure. As …

Global declines in pollinators, including bees, can have major consequences for ecosystem
services. Bees are dominant pollinators, making it imperative to mitigate declines …
