Bee microbiomes in a changing climate: investigating the effects of temperature on solitary bee life history and health
Abstract Climate change is rapidly warming thermal environments, an important abiotic stimulus governing bee development and species interactions. Increasing evidence suggests that solitary bees rely upon pollen provision microbes for successful development. The effects of heat stress on provision microbiota and resulting consequences for larval health and development, however, remain to be examined.

Orchard Management and Landscape Context Mediate the Floral Microbiome of Pear
Plant Microbiology Robert N. Schaeffer, Vera W. Pfeiffer, Saumik Basu, Matthew Brousil, Christopher Strohm, S. Tianna DuPont, Rachel L. Vannette, David W. Crowder DOI: 10.1128/AEM.00048-21 ABSTRACT Crop-associated microbiota are key factors affecting host health and productivity. Most crops are grown within heterogeneous landscapes, and interactions between management practices and landscape context often affect plant and animal biodiversity in agroecosystems.
Microbial metabolites elicit distinct olfactory and gustatory preferences in bumblebees
Abstract Animals such as bumblebees use chemosensory cues to both locate and evaluate essential resources. Increasingly, it is recognized that microbes can alter the quality of foraged resources and produce metabolites that may act as foraging cues. The distinct nature of these chemosensory cues however and their use in animal foraging remain poorly understood.
How to Break Up a Country Without Creating Havoc
In modern history, the partition of nations has almost always created three problems that kept conflicts boiling. First, it triggered massive migrations across newly drawn borders. The outbreak or threat of violence forced people to leave, particularly if they were anxious about their status as minorities in newly created states. Others were drawn by the opportunities they hope to find among their own people, in states where they might exercise their rights as a majority.
