Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Ecology of the Hive and Pollination Landscape: Bacterial Associates from Floral Nectar, the Alimentary Tract and Stored Food of Honey Bees (Apis mellifera)
Kirk E. Anderson,Kirk E. Anderson,Timothy H. Sheehan,Timothy H. Sheehan,Brendon M. Mott,Brendon M. Mott,Patrick Maes,Patrick Maes,Lucy A. Snyder,Melissa R. Schwan,Alexander Walton,Alexander Walton,Beryl M. Jones,Beryl M. Jones,Vanessa Corby-Harris +14 more
TL;DR: The results reveal that many bacteria prevalent in beebread and the crop are also found in floral nectar, suggesting frequent horizontal transmission, and do not support the core crop bacterial community hypothesized by recent studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
An emerging paradigm of colony health: microbial balance of the honey bee and hive ( Apis mellifera )
Kirk E. Anderson,Kirk E. Anderson,Tim Sheehan,Bruce J. Eckholm,Brendon M. Mott,Gloria DeGrandi-Hoffman +5 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the honey bee should be viewed as a model system to examine the effect of microbial communities on host nutrition and pathogen defense, and the niche requirements and maintenance of beneficial honey bee symbionts are largely unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly similar microbial communities are shared among related and trophically similar ant species.
Kirk E. Anderson,Jacob A. Russell,Corrie S. Moreau,Stefanie Kautz,Karen E. Sullam,Yi Hu,Ursula Basinger,Brendon M. Mott,N. A. Buck,Diana E. Wheeler +9 more
TL;DR: Similar microbial communities are harbored by ants from similar trophic niches and, to a greater extent, by related ants from the same colonies, species, genera, and tribes, suggesting new possibilities for roles of bacteria in the evolution of both herbivores and carnivores from the ant family Formicidae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hive-stored pollen of honey bees: many lines of evidence are consistent with pollen preservation, not nutrient conversion.
Kirk E. Anderson,Kirk E. Anderson,Mark J. Carroll,Mark J. Carroll,Tim Sheehan,Brendon M. Mott,Patrick Maes,Vanessa Corby-Harris +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that stored pollen is not evolved for microbially mediated nutrient conversion, but is a preservative environment due primarily to added honey, nectar, bee secretions and properties of pollen itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diet‐related gut bacterial dysbiosis correlates with impaired development, increased mortality and Nosema disease in the honeybee (Apis mellifera)
Patrick Maes,Pedro A. P. Rodrigues,Randy Oliver,Brendon M. Mott,Kirk E. Anderson,Kirk E. Anderson +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that typically occurring alterations in diet quality play a significant role in colony health and the establishment of a dysbiotic gut microbiome and a systemic host effect.
