Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid ecological replacement of a native bumble bee by invasive species.

TL;DR: A large-scale survey in Patagonia reveals that, in 5 years post-arrival, the highly invasive B terrestris has become the most abundant and widespread Bombus species, and its southward spread is concurrent with the geographic retraction of the only native species, Bombus dahlbomii.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alien parasite hitchhikes to Patagonia on invasive bumblebee

TL;DR: The results suggest that Patagonia had been free of A. bombi until this parasite was co-introduced with B. terrestris, and spilled over in situ to these two previously resident species, including the native Bombusdahlbomii.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global decline of bumblebees is phylogenetically structured and inversely related to species range size and pathogen incidence.

TL;DR: Bumblebee evolutionary history will be deeply eroded if most species from threatened clades, particularly those stemming from basal nodes, become finally extinct and the habitat of species with restricted distribution should be protected and the importance of pathogen tolerance/resistance as mechanisms to deal with pathogens needs urgent research.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ecosystem services provided by social insects: traits, management tools and knowledge gaps

TL;DR: The literature is reviewed in order to analyse the particular traits of social insects that make them good suppliers of ESs, compile and assess management strategies that improve the services provided by social insects, and detect gaps in knowledge about the services that social insects provide.
