Do Bee Wings Adapt for Flight in Urban Environments?

SOUTHEASTERN NATURALIST, 18(2), 183–191.

By: D. Beasley*, J. Fitzgerald  n, A. Fowler  n, K. Keleher* , M. Lopez-Uribe* & R. Dunn n 

TL;DR: It is found that, although the wing morphology suggests a limited dispersal ability in Andrena barbara (Barbara's Miner), the urban landscape did not significantly explain how wing shape or size vary, suggesting that urban habitats may potentially serve an important role in bee conservation.

2017 journal article

Higher immunocompetence is associated with higher genetic diversity in feral honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera)

CONSERVATION GENETICS, 18(3), 659–666.

By: M. Lopez-Uribe n, R. Appler n, E. Youngsteadt n, R. Dunn n , S. Frank n  & D. Tarpy n 

Contributors: M. López-Uribe n, R. Appler n, E. Youngsteadt n, R. Dunn n , S. Frank n  & D. Tarpy n 

author keywords: Microsatellites; Antimicrobial peptides; Defensin; Hymenoptaecin; Management
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that high genetic variability provides the raw material upon which natural selection acts and generates adaptive genotypes in unmanaged populations and that feral populations could be useful sources of genetic variation to use in breeding programs that aim to improve honey bee health.

Inducible versus constitutive social immunity: examining effects of colony infection on glucose oxidase and defensin-1 production in honeybees

ROYAL SOCIETY OPEN SCIENCE, 4(5).

By: M. Lopez-Uribe n, A. Fitzgerald* & M. Simone-Finstrom  n

author keywords: Apis mellifera; qPCR; gene expression; American foulbrood
TL;DR: It is concluded that GOX and Def1 are highly constitutive and co-opted as mechanisms of social immunity, and these factors should be considered when investigating immunity at the individual and colony level in social insects. (via Semantic Scholar)

2016 journal article

Crop domestication facilitated rapid geographical expansion of a specialist pollinator, the squash bee Peponapis pruinosa

By: M. Lopez-Uribe n, J. Cane *, R. Minckley * & B. Danforth *

author keywords: Holocene; Cucurbita spp.; approximate Bayesian computation; demographic inference
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / genetics; Cucurbita; Domestication; Genetics, Population; Geography; Humans; Mexico; Pollination; United States
TL;DR: This work used molecular markers to reconstruct the demographic range expansion and colonization routes of P. pruinosa from its native range into temperate NA and shows two genetically differentiated populations with no admixture: one in California and the other one in eastern Great Basin.

Developing educational resources for population genetics in R: an open and collaborative approach

MOLECULAR ECOLOGY RESOURCES, 17(1), 120–128.

By: Z. Kamvar *, M. Lopez-Uribe n, S. Coughlan *, N. Grunwald *, H. Lapp * & S. Manel *

author keywords: git; GitHub; online resources; open access; open education; population genetics
MeSH headings : Access to Information; Biostatistics / methods; Genetics, Population / education; Genetics, Population / methods; Internet; Statistics as Topic / education
TL;DR: An online community resource with guidance and working demonstrations for conducting population genetic analyses in r, and a toolchain, process and conventions designed to minimize financial and labour costs of upkeep and provide a low barrier to contribution. (via Semantic Scholar)

Reduced cellular immune response in social insect lineages

BIOLOGY LETTERS, 12(3).

By: M. Lopez-Uribe n, W. Sconiers n, S. Frank n , R. Dunn n  & D. Tarpy n 

Contributors: M. López-Uribe n, W. Sconiers n, S. Frank n , R. Dunn n  & D. Tarpy n 

author keywords: disease transmission; sociality; encapsulation; phylogenetic correction
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Body Size; Immunity, Cellular; Insecta / immunology; Models, Biological; Phylogeny; Social Behavior; Temperature
TL;DR: The findings suggest that insects living in large societies may rely more on behavioural mechanisms, such as hygienic behaviours, than on immune function to reduce the risk of disease transmission among nest-mates. (via Semantic Scholar)

Nest Suitability, Fine-Scale Population Structure and Male-Mediated Dispersal of a Solitary Ground Nesting Bee in an Urban Landscape

PLOS ONE, 10(5).

By: M. Lopez-Uribe*, S. Morreale *, C. Santiago * & B. Danforth *

MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / genetics; Bees / physiology; Female; Genetic Variation; Genotype; Humans; Male; Microsatellite Repeats; Models, Genetic; Pollination; Population Density; Population Dynamics; Urban Renewal
TL;DR: The fine-scale population structure of the solitary bee Colletes inaequalis in an urbanized landscape is investigated and the importance of density and distribution of suitable nesting patches for enhancing bee population abundance and connectivity in human dominated habitats is emphasized.

Seasonal cycles, phylogenetic assembly, and functional diversity of orchid bee communities

ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 5(9), 1896–1907.

author keywords: Biodiversity patterns; euglossini; orchid bees; pollinators
TL;DR: Investigating the structure, diversity, and assembly of euglossine bee communities through time in relation to seasonal climatic cycles found that functional trait diversity, evenness, and divergence remained constant during all seasons in all communities. (via Semantic Scholar)

Urbanization Increases Pathogen Pressure on Feral and Managed Honey Bees

PLOS ONE, 10(11).

By: E. Youngsteadt n, R. Appler n, M. Lopez-Uribe n, D. Tarpy n  & S. Frank n 

MeSH headings : Animals; Bacteremia / microbiology; Bacteremia / mortality; Bees / microbiology; Bees / parasitology; Bees / physiology; Bees / virology; Biomarkers / analysis; Immune System / immunology; Immune System / metabolism; Immune System / pathology; Parasitemia / mortality; Parasitemia / parasitology; Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction; Survival Rate; Urbanization; Virus Diseases / mortality; Virus Diseases / virology
TL;DR: It is found that pathogen pressure on honey bees increased with urbanization and management, and the probability of worker survival declined 3-fold along the authors' urbanization gradient, suggesting that urban areas may favor problematic diseases of pollinators. (via Semantic Scholar)
