2022 article

Improving Osmia lignaria and O. cornifrons (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) retention with preferred nest materials and attractant spray

Pinilla‐Gallego, M. S., Rowe, L. M., Gibbs, J., Pitts‐Singer, T. L., & Isaacs, R. (2022, April 7). Journal of Applied Entomology.

By: M. Pinilla‐Gallego n, L. Rowe *, J. Gibbs *, T. Pitts‐Singer & R. Isaacs *

author keywords: alternative pollinators; blue orchard bee; horn-faced bee; pollinator management; solitary bees
topics (OpenAlex): Plant and animal studies; Insect and Pesticide Research; Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior
TL;DR: It is suggested that using the right combination of shelters and substrates, as well as the attractant spray, is an effective strategy to increase Osmia female retention for orchard pollination. (via Semantic Scholar)

2020 journal article

Cross-infectivity of honey and bumble bee-associated parasites across three bee families

Parasitology, 147(12), 1290–1304.

By: L. Ngor *, E. Palmer-Young *, R. Burciaga Nevarez*, K. Russell *, L. Leger*, S. Giacomini n, M. Pinilla-Gallego n, R. Irwin n, Q. McFrederick *

author keywords: Alfalfa leafcutter bee; blue orchard bee; flagellate; Halictus ligatus; host-parasite specificity; Kinetoplastidae; Leishmaniiniae; Megachile rotundata; Osmia lignaria; sweat bee
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / parasitology; Crithidia / isolation & purification; Crithidia / pathogenicity; Honey / parasitology; Host Specificity; Host-Parasite Interactions; Microsporidiosis / veterinary; Nosema / isolation & purification; Nosema / pathogenicity; Pathology, Molecular; Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction / methods; Trypanosomatina / isolation & purification; Trypanosomatina / pathogenicity
topics (OpenAlex): Insect and Pesticide Research; Plant and animal studies; Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior
TL;DR: Findings suggest a broad host range in these trypanosomatids, and underscore the need to quantify disease-mediated threats of managed social bees to sympatric pollinators. (via Semantic Scholar)

2020 journal article

Within-Colony Transmission of Microsporidian and Trypanosomatid Parasites in Honey Bee and Bumble Bee Colonies

Environmental Entomology, 49(6), 1393–1401.

By: M. Pinilla-Gallego n, E. Williams *, A. Davis *, J. Fitzgerald  n, S. McArt * & R. Irwin n

Ed(s): S. Perlman

author keywords: Nosema ceranae; Crithidia bombi; Apis mellifera; Bombus impatiens; disease
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees; Nosema; Parasites
topics (OpenAlex): Insect and Pesticide Research; Plant and animal studies; Insect-Plant Interactions and Control
TL;DR: Bumble bees and honey bees infected with the gut parasites Crithidia bombi and Nosema ceranae were used to understand how the initial proportion of infected individuals impacts within-colony spread and intensity of infection of the parasites. (via Semantic Scholar)

2018 article

Pollen Use by Osmia lignaria (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) in Highbush Blueberry Fields

Pinilla-Gallego, M. S., & Isaacs, R. (2018, July 19). Annals of the Entomological Society of America.

By: M. Pinilla-Gallego n & R. Isaacs *

author keywords: blue orchard bee; mason bee; alternative managed bee; palynology; Vaccinium corymbosum
topics (OpenAlex): Plant and animal studies; Insect and Pesticide Research; Plant Parasitism and Resistance
TL;DR: Results indicate that in these field conditions, O. lignaria visit other plants rather than blueberries as a pollen source, making it poorly suited as an alternative managed pollinator for this specific crop. (via Semantic Scholar)
