Data for Climate-driven shifts in bee and floral vulnerability alter when and where conservation is needed

Baltazar González, Magda Argueta‐Guzmán, Victoria Salerno, Jorge Mora-Sibaja et autres

This dataset contains climate predictors, species occurrence records, and model outputs used to calculate the Conservation Opportunity and Priority Evaluation index (COPE) for pollination systems in California. COPE combines projected climatic suitability for the blue orchard bee, Osmia lignaria, with projected changes …

osmiaCAM: A Low-cost Imaging Monitoring System for Linking Solitary Bee Foraging, Nest Provisioning, and Environmental Sensitivity

Victoria Salerno, Acacia Tsz So Tang, Jorge Mora, Magda Argueta-Guzmán et autres

While social bees are a primary focus of research and monitoring efforts among pollinators, more than 80% of bee species are solitary. For solitary bees, foraging behavior and efficiency directly impact the reproductive outcomes of individuals (fitness), as the consequences of foraging …

Bacterial communities of fresh and aged fecal pellets in western drywood termite (Blattodea: Kalotermitidae) and their potential use as biomarkers of recent or active infestations

Nicholas A Poulos, Lyna Ngor, Chow‐Yang Lee, Quinn S. McFrederick et autres

In addition to serving as a telltale sign of infestation, drywood termite fecal pellets can reveal information about the colony that produced them. In this study, the bacterial communities of fresh and aged fecal pellets of Incisitermes minor (Hagen) were investigated to …

Nest Ecology-associated Impacts of Wastewater on Wild Bee Microbiomes

Lyna Ngor, Evan C. Palmer‐Young, Helen Vo, Ali Alkhunder et autres

Abstract Anthropogenic pollution affects environments differently depending on proximity to pollution source, exposure route, and species ecology. Thus, understanding organism’s ecological role and exposure route to contaminants is central to assessing pollution impact. Treated municipal wastewater releases contaminants into waterways and alters …

Solitary Bees Acquire and Deposit Bacteria via Flowers: Testing the Environmental Transmission Hypothesis Using Osmia lignaria , Phacelia tanacetifolia , and Apilactobacillus micheneri

Magda Argueta‐Guzmán, Marko J. Spasojevic, Quinn S. McFrederick

ABSTRACT Microbial environmental transmission among individuals plays an important role in shaping the microbiomes of many species. Despite the importance of the microbiome for host fitness, empirical investigations on environmental transmission are scarce, particularly in systems where interactions across multiple trophic levels …

High abundance of lactobacilli in the gut microbiome of honey bees during winter

G. S. Brar, Lyna Ngor, Quinn S. McFrederick, Alex S. Torson et autres

Honey bee gut microbiota play specific roles in promoting host growth and physiology by regulating the immune system, behavior, metabolism, and neurological processes. While the gut microbiota of honey bee queens, workers, and larvae has been extensively studied, less is known about …

Multitrophic assembly influences β‐diversity across a tripartite system of flowering plants, bees, and bee‐gut microbiomes

Magda Argueta‐Guzmán, Quinn S. McFrederick, Marko J. Spasojevic

Theoretical frameworks of terrestrial community assembly often focus on single trophic levels (e.g. plants) without considering how complex interdependencies across different trophic levels influence assembly mechanisms. Yet, when multiple trophic levels are considered (e.g. plant–pollinator, plant–microbe interactions) the focus is typically on …

Exploring the interactions between Nosema ceranae infection and the honey bee gut microbiome

Edmund Lau, Jessica Maccaro, Quinn S. McFrederick, James C. Nieh

Managed colonies of the European honey bee, Apis mellifera, have faced considerable losses in recent years. A widespread contributing factor is a microsporidian pathogen, Nosema ceranae, which occurs worldwide, is increasingly resistant to antibiotic treatment, and can alter the host's immune response …
