Effect of pre-wintering and wintering temperature regimes on weight loss, survival, and emergence time in the mason bee Osmia cornuta (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) (2004, background): “Previous studies on O. cornuta and the closely-related O. lignaria established that males are smaller, emerge sooner and usually live longer (without feeding) than females (Bosch and Blas, 1994b; Bosch and Kemp, 2000; Bosch and Vicens, 2002).”
Effects of constant and fluctuating temperatures on the development of the solitary bee Osmia bicornis (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) (2011, background): “However, weight loss can be considerable in the pupal, pre-wintering, and wintering phases ( Bosch and Vicens 2002; Sgolastra et al. 2010).”
Impacts of flight distance on sex ratio and resource allocation to offspring in the leafcutter bee, Megachile rotundata (2006, background): “…allocation, as the amount of food provisioned to the progeny in the brood cell is correlated to the subsequent size of the progeny as an adult (Klostermeyer et al. 1973; Freeman 1981a; Johnson 1988; Bosch and Vicens 2002) and the heritability of body size appears low (Tepedino et al. 1984).”
Relationship between body size, provisioning rate, longevity and reproductive success in females of the solitary bee Osmia cornuta (2006, methodology): “In September, nests were dissected, and cocoons were sexed based on their size and position within the nest (Bosch 1994a; Bosch and Vicens 2002).”
Collateral effects of beekeeping: Impacts on pollen-nectar resources and wild bee communities (2016, background): “391 At the intra-specific level, bee adult body size is directly related to the amount of pollen-nectar 392 consumed by the larva (Bosch & Vicens, 2002; Ribeiro, 1994), and some studies have shown 393 reductions in offspring body size in populations flying in areas with low levels of flower 394…”
