• Sperm length, sperm storage and mating system characteristics in bumblebees (2003, background): “Males of all three bumblebee species insert a mating plug after mating, but in contrast to the singly-mated species B. terrestris where the mating plug is known to prevent additional matings (Baer et al., 2000, 2001), it is apparently only partly effective in B. hypnorum where a variable fraction of”
• Sex ratio variation in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris (2004, background): “We have approximated the genetic diversity per cohort by deriving the number of genetically independent haplotypes (i.e., alleles at a hypothetical marker locus with an infinite number of alleles) from pedigree information available for the total sequence of laboratory cohorts, assuming exclusively ”
• Bumblebees as model organisms to study male sexual selection in social insects (2003, background): “2003), suggesting substantial male-male competition for copulations, because most Bombus species appear to be monandrous (Estoup et al. 1995; Schmid-Hempel and Schmid-Hempel 2000).”
• The Physiological and Genomic Bases of Bumble Bee Social Behaviour (2015, background): “Most bumble bee species that have been studied are monogyne (a single queen per colony), the queen of which is monandrous (singly inseminated) (Estoup et al., 1995; Owen and Whidden, 2013; Schmid-Hempel and Schmid-Hempel, 2000).”
• Polyandry in social Hymenoptera — disunity in diversity? (2001, background): “The phylogenetic scale of this variation can be quite fine, for example the ant tribe Attini includes both habitually monandrous and highly polyandrous genera (Villesen et al. 1999, Murakami et al. 2000), and in the bee genus Bombus most species appear strictly monandrous but a significant fraction ”
