Disease where you dine: plant species and floral traits associated with pathogen transmission in bumble bees.

Ecology - 1 Nov 2018

Adler Lynn S, Michaud Kristen M, Ellner Stephen P, McArt Scott H, Stevenson Philip C, Irwin Rebecca E

Abstract excerpt

Hotspots of disease transmission can strongly influence pathogen spread. Bee pathogens may be transmitted via shared floral use, but the role of plant species and floral trait variation in shaping transmission dynamics is almost entirely unexplored. Given the importance of pathogens for the decline of several bee species, understanding whether and how plant species and floral traits affect transmission could give...
