Assessing the impact of the invasive buff-tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) on the pollination of the native Chilean herb Mimulus luteus
(Springer, 2013-06-18)
The arrival of exotic pollinators to new habitats may introduce new patterns of floral preference and foraging behavior that modify the structure of the resident plant-pollinator community. The aim of this paper is to ...

Impact of invasive bees on plant-pollinator interactions and reproductive success of plant species in mixed Nothofagus Antarctica forests
(Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil, 2020-07-30)
Invasive social bees can alter plant-pollinator interactions with detrimental effects on both partners. However, most studies have focused on one invasive bee species, while the interactions among two or more species remain ...
Polarization Microscopy and Topochemistry of the Cocoon of Lithurgus chrysurus (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae)
(Entomological Soc AmerAnnapolisEUA, 2014)
Changes in wing length in the pollinator Bombus dahlbomii occurring with the fragmentation of the Maulino forest, Chile Cambios en el largo alar del polinizador Bombus dahlbomii, con la fragmentación del bosque Maulino, Chile
(Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, Facultad de Agronomia e Ingenieria Forestal, 2011)
Habitat fragmentation can affect the morphological design of flying insects in different ways through changes in the costs and benefits of dispersal patterns. Larger wings should be favored if necessary resources are ...
Intraspecific variation in body size of bumblebee workers influences anti-predator behaviour
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-03-01)
Flower-dwelling predators make flowers dangerous foraging sites for pollinators, potentially affecting their anti-predator behaviour. Moreover, predation vulnerability often varies among pollinators' body sizes with ...
The economic cost of losing native pollinator species for orchard production
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-03)
The alarming loss of pollinator diversity world-wide can reduce the productivity of pollinator-dependent crops, which could have economic impacts. However, it is unclear to what extent the loss of a key native pollinator ...
Phoretic mites associated to Bombus pauloensis and Bombus bellicosus (Hymenoptera: Apidae) from Uruguay
(International Bee Research Association, 2019-04)
Bumblebees (Bombus spp.), considered as important angiosperm pollinators, harborseveral mite species associated with their nests. In the present study, 403 bumblebees -B. pauloensis (n=285) and B. bellicosus (n=118) - were ...
Managed honeybees and South American bumblebees exhibit complementary foraging patterns in highbush blueberry
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021-04)
Despite Apis mellifera being the most widely managed pollinator to enhance crop production, they are not the most suitable species for highbush blueberries, which possess restrictive floral morphology and require ...
