Journal ArticleDOI
Diet effects on honeybee immunocompetence
TL;DR: A link between protein nutrition and immunity in honeybees and the critical role of resource availability on pollinator health is suggested and the importance of diet diversity is underscored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of pollen nutrition on honey bee health: do pollen quality and diversity matter?
Garance Di Pasquale,Marion Salignon,Yves Le Conte,Luc P. Belzunces,Axel Decourtye,André Kretzschmar,Séverine Suchail,Jean Luc Brunet,Cédric Alaux +8 more
TL;DR: The results support the idea that both the quality and diversity (in a specific context of pollen can shape bee physiology and might help to better understand the influence of agriculture and land-use intensification on bee nutrition and health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions between Nosema microspores and a neonicotinoid weaken honeybees (Apis mellifera)
Cédric Alaux,Jean-Luc Brunet,Claudia Dussaubat,Fanny Mondet,Sylvie Tchamitchan,Marianne Cousin,Julien Brillard,Aurélie Baldy,Luc P. Belzunces,Yves Le Conte +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the interaction between the microsporidia Nosema and a neonicotinoid (imidacloprid) significantly weakened honeybees, providing the first evidences that interaction between an infectious organism and a chemical can also threaten pollinators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Honey bee aggression supports a link between gene regulation and behavioral evolution
Cédric Alaux,Saurabh Sinha,Linda Hasadsri,Greg J. Hunt,Ernesto Guzman-Novoa,Gloria DeGrandi-Hoffman,José L. Uribe-Rubio,Bruce R. Southey,Sandra L. Rodriguez-Zas,Gene E. Robinson +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that aggression-related genes with inherited patterns of brain expression are also environmentally regulated, and it appears that one element in the evolution of different degrees of aggressive behavior in honey bees involved changes in regulation of genes that mediate the response to alarm pheromone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Standard methods for maintaining adult Apis mellifera in cages under in vitro laboratory conditions
Geoffrey R. Williams,Cédric Alaux,Cecilia Costa,Tamás Csáki,Vincent Doublet,Dorothea Eisenhardt,Ingemar Fries,Rolf Kuhn,Dino P. McMahon,Piotr Medrzycki,Tomás E. Murray,Myrsini E. Natsopoulou,Peter J. Neumann,Randy Oliver,Robert J. Paxton,Stephen F. Pernal,Dave Shutler,Gina Tanner,Jozef J. M. van der Steen,Robert Brodschneider +19 more
TL;DR: The ultimate goal of this, and of all COLOSS BEEBOOK papers, is not to stifle science with restrictions, but rather to provide researchers with the appropriate tools to generate comparable data that will build upon current understanding of honey bees.
