The animal gut is a habitat for diverse communities of microorganisms (microbiota). Honeybees and bumblebees have recently been shown to harbour distinct species poor microbiota, which may confer protection against parasites. Here, we investigate diversity, host specificity transmission mode two the most common, yet poorly known, bacteria honeybees bumblebees: Snodgrassella alvi (Betaproteobacteria) Gilliamella apicola (Gammaproteobacteria). We analysed 16S rRNA gene sequences these from bee...
Background. Pollinators, which provide the agriculturally and ecologically essential service of pollination, are under threat at a global scale. Habitat loss homogenisation, pesticides, parasites pathogens, invasive species, climate change have been identified as past current threats to pollinators. Actions mitigate these threats, e.g., agri-environment schemes pesticide-use moratoriums, exist, but largely applied post-hoc. However, future sustainability pollinators they requires...
Pathogens and parasites represent significant threats to the health well-being of honeybee species that are key pollinators agricultural crops flowers worldwide. We conducted a nationwide survey determine occurrence prevalence pathogens in Asian honeybees, Apis cerana, China. Our study provides evidence infections A. cerana by pathogenic Deformed wing virus (DWV), Black queen cell (BQCV), Nosema ceranae, C. bombi have been linked population declines European mellifera, bumble bees. However,...
The dynamics of viruses are critical to our understanding disease pathogenesis. Using honey bee Deformed wing virus (DWV) as a model, we conducted field and laboratory studies investigate the roles abiotic biotic stress factors well host health conditions in replication bees. results showed that temperature decline could lead not only significant decrease rate for pupae emerge adult bees, but also an increased severity infection emerged partly explaining high levels winter losses managed...
The Deformed wing virus (family Iflaviridae, genus Iflavirus, DWV), one of the most prevalent and common viruses in honey bees, Apis mellifera L., is present both laboratory-reared wild populations bumble Bombus huntii Greene. Our studies showed that DWV infection spreads throughout entire body B. concentration higher workers than males collected field reared laboratory, implying a possible association between foraging activities. Further results gut tissue can support replication DWV,...
Bumble bees are important pollinators in natural and agricultural ecosystems. Their social colonies founded by individual queens, which, as the predominant reproductive females of colonies, contribute to colony function through worker production fitness male new queen production. Therefore, health is paramount, but even though there has been an increasing emphasis on role gut microbiota for animal health, limited information microbial dynamics bumble bee queens. Employing 16S rRNA amplicon...
The sublethal effects of pesticide poisoning will have significant negative impacts on the foraging and learning bees bumblebees, so it has received widespread attention. However, little is known about physiological spinetoram glyphosate exposure bumblebees. We continuously exposed Bombus terrestris to (2.5 mg/L) or under controlled conditions for 10 days. superoxide dismutase, glutathione-S-transferase, carboxylesterase, prophenoloxidase, α-amylase protease activities, changes in gut...
RNA viruses that contain single-stranded genomes of positive sense make up the largest group pathogens infecting honey bees. Sacbrood virus (SBV) is one most widely distributed bee and infects larvae bees, resulting in failure to pupate death. Among all SBV has greatest number complete isolated from both European bees Apis mellifera Asian A. cerana worldwide. To enhance our understanding evolution pathogenicity SBV, this study, we present first report whole genome sequences two U.S. strains...
Bees play a crucial role as pollinators, contributing significantly to ecosystems. However, the honeybee population faces challenges such global warming, pesticide use, and pathogenic microorganisms. Promoting bee growth using several approaches is therefore for maintaining their roles. To this end, bacterial microbiota well-known its native in supporting respects. Maximizing capabilities of these microorganisms holds theoretical potential promote bees. Recent advancements have made it...
The boll opening rate (BOR) is an early maturity trait that plays a crucial role in cotton production China, as BOR has significant effect on defoliant spraying and picking time of unginned cotton, ultimately determining yield fiber quality. Therefore, elucidating the genetic basis identifying stably associated loci, elite alleles, potential candidate genes can effectively accelerate molecular breeding process. In this study, we utilized mixed linear model (MLM) algorithm to perform...
Pollination services provided by wild insect pollinators are critical to natural ecosystems and crops around the world. There is an increasing appreciation that gut microbiota of these insects influences their health consequently services. However, pollinator studies have focused on well-described social bees, but rarely include other, more phylogenetically divergent pollinators. To expand our understanding, we explored microbiomes across three orders through two DNA sequencing approaches....
The Qilian orogenic belt in the northern Tibetan plateau connects Altaids to north with Tethyan system south and occupies a key tectonic position evolution assembly of Asia. contains wide range subduction–accretion-related petrotectonic units. Early–Middle Devonian Laojunshan conglomerate, deposited unconformably upon Cambrian–Silurian strata along margin North terrane, record late Paleozoic tectonism orogen. Its provenance setting are critical understanding not only plateau, but global...
Pear (Pyrus bretschneideri) is characterized by being self-incompatible and dependent on cross-pollination to set fruit. Honeybee (Apis mellifera) considered the most important pollinator of pear. Nevertheless, limited pollen transfer has been cited as main cause poor fruit in many pear orchards. Here, we tested following hypotheses: (i) colony manipulations increase collection tendency honeybees (ii) proportion loads returned hive from target plant. The technique reliably rapidly estimates...
