The gut microbiome of solitary bees is mainly affected by pathogen assemblage and partially by land use
Pollinators, including solitary bees, are drastically declining worldwide. Among the factors
contributing to this decline, bee pathogens and different land uses are of relevance. The link …

Pollen defenses negatively impact foraging and fitness in a generalist bee (Bombus impatiens: Apidae)
Plants may benefit from limiting the community of generalist floral visitors if the species that
remain are more effective pollinators and less effective pollenivores. Plants can reduce …
