• Worldwide decline of the entomofauna: A review of its drivers (2019, background): “The main factors responsible for this steady decline include: widespread parasite and pathogen infections that are becoming more virulent in recent years (Anderson et al., 2011; Yang and Cox-Foster, 2007); lack of genetic variability; stress due to seasonal movement of hives for pollinating fruit an”
• Defensive microbial symbionts in Hymenoptera (2014, background): “…Evans & Spivak 2009; Simone-Finstrom & Spivak 2010; Kwakman & Zaat 2012) as well as stingless bees (Temaru et al. 2007; Umthong, Puthong & Chanchao 2009) have antimicrobial properties, and some bees line the nest walls with propolis, possibly to reduce microbial infections (Anderson et al. 2011).”
