Impacts of flight distance on sex ratio and resource allocation to offspring in the leafcutter bee, Megachile rotundata (2006, background): “Brood cells that receive more resources not only produce larger offspring but may also be better able to maintain somatic function in adverse conditions during development and over-wintering (Tepedino and Torchio 1982; Tepedino and Parker 1986; Bosch and Kemp 2004).”
Foraging behavior and pollinating effectiveness of Osmia cornuta (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) and Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) on “Comice” pear (2004, background): “cornuta and the closely-related Osmia lignaria Say, long pre-wintering regimes have been associated with body weight losses, fat body depletion, decreased vigor and increased winter mortality (Bosch et al., 2000; Bosch and Kemp, 2004).”
Experimental warming in the field delays phenology and reduces body mass, fat content and survival: Implications for the persistence of a pollinator under climate change (2018, background): “…have lower reproductive fitness (Kingsolver & Huey, 2008), and laboratory studies of other Osmia spp. show that adult bees with less mass have less fat stores, shorter life spans and lower adult vigour (all of which are approximate measures of fitness; Bosch & Kemp, 2003, 2004; Kemp & Bosch, 2005).”
An examination of synchrony between insect emergence and flowering in Rocky Mountain meadows (2011, background): “…or vernalization effects have been clearly documented in plants (Murray et al. 1989, Henderson et al. 2003) and insects (Kimberling and Miller 1988, Bosch and Kemp 2003, 2004), but this fact seems to be underappreciated by many ecologists monitoring phenology and making projections about climate…”
Trap nests for bees and wasps to analyse trophic interactions in changing environments—A systematic overview and user guide (2018, methodology): “…direct sunlight and high temperatures (e.g., in car) Specimens not hatching Temperate and boreal specimens require a cool winter diapause (c. 4°C for 2–3 months) to complete their development (Bosch & Kemp, 2004); ensure adequate storage facilities (e.g., climate chambers or refrigerator) Note.”
Relationship between body size, provisioning rate, longevity and reproductive success in females of the solitary bee Osmia cornuta (2006, background): “Reducing provision size below certain thresholds, however, might result in increased offspring mortality during development and/or wintering (Bosch and Kemp 2004; Bosch, unpublished), and thus conflict with optimal allocation theory, according to which, resources should be allocated in portions…”
