Varroa destructor: research avenues towards sustainable control (2012, background): “Indeed, due to its ubiquity, potential interactions between this mite and other contributors to colony mortality are almost inevitable and appear to be universal (Ball, 1989; Cox-Foster et al., 2007; vanEngelsdorp et al., 2009; Potts et al., 2010).”
The Evolution and Emergence of RNA Viruses (2009, background): “2008), or even bee hives (Cox-Foster et al. 2007), it is likely that new, and perhaps very different, RNA viruses will be discovered in the near future.”
Can the enemy release hypothesis explain the success of invasive alien predators and parasitoids? (2011, background): “Such a ‘‘metagenomics’’ approach has been used extensively to investigate community structure in benthic (Sogin et al. 2006) and soil (Leininger et al. 2006) environments, and to identify the viral agent of colony collapse disorder in honeybees (Cox-Foster et al. 2007).”
Surveys as a tool to record winter losses of honey bee colonies: a two year case study in Austria and South Tyrol (2010, background): “Much more has been published regarding the potential reasons for colony losses (Cox-Foster et al., 2007; Higes et al., 2008; Pajuelo et al., 2008; Naug, 2009; Johnson et al., 2009; vanEngelsdorp et al., 2009).”
Ecological genetics of invasive alien species (2011, background): “This approach was recently used to identify Israeli acute paralysis virus as a potential agent of colony collapse disorder in honeybees, Apis mellifera (L.) (Hymenoptera: Apidae) (Cox-Foster et al. 2007), and to characterise microbes associated with the primary pest of bees, the ectoparasitic mite V”
Colony Collapse Disorder: A Descriptive Study (2009, methodology): “In the current study, we assayed colonies for the presence of 12 organisms spanning these different groups using sensitive PCR-based techniques [3,40,41].”
A Survey of Honey Bee Colony Losses in the U.S., Fall 2007 to Spring 2008 (2008, neutral): “[7].”
Vespa velutina: a new invasive predator of honeybees in Europe (2013, background): “…that threaten A. mellifera colonies, such as parasites, viruses, habitat loss or fragmentation, insecticides and pesticides, and climate change (Cox-Foster et al. 2007; Brown and Paxton 2009; Johnson et al. 2010; Le Conte et al. 2010; Potts et al. 2010; vanEngelsdorp and Meixner 2010; Henry et…”
