• Honey bee colony collapse and changes in viral prevalence associated with Varroa destructor (2010, background): “Entry of many mites carrying a virus into relatively mite free colonies may cause their death with fewer mites present than might be predicted from models (e.g. Martin, 2001) which rely on the natural development of the mite population.”
• Origin matters: alien consumers inflict greater damage on prey populations than do native consumers (2013, background): “…to alien herbivores (e.g. Parker et al., 2006; Verhoeven et al., 2009; Desurmont et al., 2011; Morrison & Hay, 2011), and there is abundant evidence demonstrating the influence of na€ıvet e on the impacts of alien pathogens and parasites (Martin, 2001; Tompkins et al., 2003; Wyatt et al., 2008).”
• Varroa destructor: research avenues towards sustainable control (2012, methodology): “They heavily focus, however, on mite population growth within a honey bee colony and mostly ignore the interactions with the hosts and with secondary diseases for which mites function as vector (for exceptions see Martin, 2001; Sumpter and Martin, 2004).”
• A mathematical model of Varroa mite (Varroa destructor Anderson and Trueman) and honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) population dynamics (2004, background): “, 1999) or based predictions of colony mortality on the transmission of viral pathogens by mites (Martin, 2001).”
• Occurrence of parasites and pathogens in honey bee colonies used in a European genotype-environment interactions experiment (2014, background): “Several publications report variability of V. destructor population dynamics in response to environmental conditions, such as length of the brood season and bee colony density (Ritter, 1984; Martin, 2001; Le Conte et al., 2010; Rosenkranz et al., 2010).”
• Parasitic Varroa destructor mites influence flight duration and homing ability of infested Apis mellifera foragers (2006, background): “The common observation in colonies collapsing due to Varroosis is a pronounced loss of forager bees (Martin, 1997) which corresponds well to the observed behavioural changes, though a shortened life span of workers emerging from cells infested by reproducing mites (Schneider and Drescher, 1987; Kova”
• Colony Collapse Disorder: A Descriptive Study (2009, background): “This additional characteristic should assist in distinguishing diminishing populations associated with elevated levels of varroa mites (and virus) [86] and N.”
• Biology and control of Varroa destructor. (2010, background): “If one considers such effects, the impact of bee viruses as secondary infections must also be included in such models (Martin, 2001a).”
• Protecting an ecosystem service: approaches to understanding and mitigating threats to wild insect pollinators (2016, background): “…on the overall pollination service provided by 820 honeybees, as individual infection can impair individual foraging performance (Wolf et al., 821 2014), and high prevalence in colonies can lead to significant problems (Dainat et al., 2012; 822 Higes et al., 2008; Martin, 2001; Nazzi et al., 2012).”
• Characteristics of honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera) in Sweden surviving Varroa destructor infestation (2011, background): “…phase) and developing bees (during their reproductive phase), the mite vectors naturally occurring otherwise latent viruses which can develop into severe overt infections and potentially lead to colony mortality (Allen and Ball 1996; Nordström et al. 1999; Martin 2001; Sumpter and Martin 2004).”
• Transmission of Kashmir bee virus by the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor (2004, methodology): “This has previously been suggested by Martin (2001) with DWV.”
