• Decline of bumble bees (Bombus) in the North American Midwest (2009, background): “These species belong to a single subgenus (Bombus sensu stricto Latreille) (Williams, 1998; Cameron et al., 2007) and include the eastern Bombus affinis Cresson and Bombus terricola Kirby, and western Bombus franklini Frison and Bombus occidentalis Greene.”
• The Physiological and Genomic Bases of Bumble Bee Social Behaviour (2015, background): “Most bumble bees live in the temperate zones of the Northern hemisphere, but some species also occupy temperate zones of the Southern hemisphere and some are even present in tropical zones (Cameron et al., 2007; Michener, 1974; Sakagami, 1976; Williams et al., 2008).”
• A molecular phylogeny of the Old World stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini) and the non‐monophyly of the large genus Trigona (2007, methodology): “We sequenced fragments of four independently evolving genes found to be informative for the phylogenetic analysis of bees at several levels of relationship: mitochondrial 16S for closely related species (Cameron & Williams, 2003; Cameron et al., 2006; Hines et al., 2006) and, for resolution at highe”
• Evidence for decline in eastern North American bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Apidae), with special focus on Bombus affinis Cresson (2008, background): “franklini (Cameron et al. 1380 Biodivers Conserv (2008) 17:1379–1391”
• The bumblebees of Sichuan (Hymenoptera: Apidae, Bombini) (2009, background): “Bumblebees are a monophyletic group (Williams, 1995; Cameron et al., 2007), constituting the tribe Bombini.”
• Patterns of widespread decline in North American bumble bees (2011, background): “occidentalis) within the subgenus Bombus sensu stricto (22).”
• Cryptic species diversity in a widespread bumble bee complex revealed using mitochondrial DNA RFLPs (2008, background): “A recent comprehensive phylogeny of bumble bees (Cameron et al. 2007), based on one mitochondrial (16S rRNA) and four nuclear genes, revealed monophyly of the subgenus Bombus and, more importantly, found similar mitochondrial DNA divergence between B. cryptarum and B. lucorum (2.6”
• Unveiling cryptic species of the bumblebee subgenus Bombus s. str. worldwide with COI barcodes (Hymenoptera: Apidae) (2012, methodology): “This follows the results of Cameron et al. (2007) from a phylogenetic analysis of five genes across most bumblebee species.”
