- Biology and control of Varroa destructor. (2010, background): “The parasitized foragers display a decreased capability of non-associated learning, prolonged absences from the colony and a lower rate of return to the colony (Kralj and Fuchs, 2006; Kralj et al., 2007), which may be due to a reduced ability to navigate (Ruano et al., 1991).”
- Standard methods for behavioural studies of Apis mellifera (2013, background): “Even low stress levels, due for example to parasitism by Varroa destructor or Nosema spp., can be detected during return flight experiments (Kralj and Fuchs, 2006, 2010), because they affect the duration of return flights and the rate of successful returns.”
- Influence of brood rearing temperature on honey bee development and susceptibility to poisoning by pesticides (2010, background): “…these modifications can lead to severe damage at the colony level, even if there is no apparent effect at the individual level (Vandame et al., 1995; Bortolotti et al., 2003; Medrzycki et al., 2003; Decourtye et al., 2004; 2005; Kralj and Fuchs, 2006; Kralj et al., 2007; Desneuz et al., 2007).”
- A review on self-destructive defense behaviors in social insects (2012, background): “Host suicide is an effective general strategy against disease outbreak in large eusocial groups because of its cost–benefit ratio (Kralj and Fuchs, 2006; Smith-Trail, 1980).”
- Occurrence of parasites and pathogens in honey bee colonies used in a European genotype-environment interactions experiment (2014, background): “…infestation of larvae, pupae and adult bees is known to cause immunosuppression (Yang and CoxFoster, 2005, 2007), weight loss (Jong et al., 1982), decreased flight performance (Duay et al., 2002; Kralj and Fuchs, 2006), and reduction in lifespan (Schneider and Drescher, 1987; Amdam et al., 2004).”
