Genetic analysis of spatial foraging patterns and resource sharing in bumble bee pollinators.

Molecular ecology - 1 Oct 2003

Chapman R E, Wang J, Bourke A F G

Abstract excerpt

Conservation biologists, evolutionary ecologists and agricultural biologists require an improved understanding of how pollinators utilize space and share resources. Using microsatellite markers, we conducted a genetic analysis of space use and resource sharing at several spatial scales among workers of two ecologically dissimilar bumble bee species (Bombus terrestris and B. pascuorum) foraging in an urban...
