Aspects of the bionomics of the parasitic honey bee brood mite, Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans

Creator:: Principal de D'Aubeterre, Judith
Abstract:: Aspects concerning the bionomics of the parasitic honey bee brood mite, Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans were investigated. Mite mortality is great during the winter season when the host colony is not rearing brood, appearing to be independent of the mortality of its host. In winter period, no significant association between the...

Environmental impacts on native bumble bee pollinators in an agricultural landscape of western Oregon

Creator:: Skyrm, Kimberly M.
Abstract:: Bumble bees provide vital pollination services in both native and agricultural landscapes. However, in recent years, bumble bee populations have experienced global population declines. The primary causes of these declines have been attributed to the environmental impacts of pathogens, pesticide use and habitat fragmentation. While research has examined the impacts...

Parasitism by the brood mite, Euvarroa sinhai delfinado and baker (Acari: Varroidae) on the dwarf honey bee, Apis florea F. (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in Thailand

Creator:: Kitprasert, Chutikarn
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Potential impacts of canola (Brassica napus L.) on vegetable seed production in the Willamette Valley of Oregon

Creator:: Quinn, Michael P.
Abstract:: In the Willamette Valley of Oregon, a combination of the need for rotational crops and an increased desire for biofuel production created interest in planting Brassica napus (canola). However, questions were raised arisen over the potential damage canola production could have on the preexisting Brassica vegetable seed industry. To address...

Phylogenetic relationships of the bumblebees (Apidae: Hymenoptera) in the Pacific Northwest of America inferred from mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase gene sequences

Creator:: Pongprasert, Weerathep
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Tracheal mite parasitism of honey bees

Creator:: Royce, Lynn A.
Abstract:: The tracheal mite, Acarapis woodi (Rennie), parasitizes the honey bee, Apis mellifera L., an insect used extensively by humans for pollination of domestic crops and for bee products, primarily honey. This parasite was first discovered in 1921 on the Isle of Wight, a small island situated in the English Channel...

Native Bee and Spider Community Responses to Grassland Restoration and Wildfire

Creator:: Smith DiCarlo, Lauren A.
Abstract:: Up to 99.9% of native North American grasslands have been degraded since European settlement, primarily due to agricultural conversion. Today, grasslands are a top priority for restoration as they provide essential habitat for many rare and endangered species; however, the majority of studies in grasslands have focused on vegetation or...

Etiology and pathogenesis of chalkbrood in the alfalfa leafcutting bee, Megachile rotundata

Creator:: Vandenberg, J. D. (John Donald)
Abstract:: Chalkbrood is a mycosis of larvae of the alfalfa leafcutting bee, Megachile rotundata (Fabricius). It is a serious threat to alfalfa seed growers in western North America who use populations of this bee for pollination. Basic studies were conducted to determine the etiology of this disease and the course of...

Isozymic and cytological studies on populations of the introduced bee species, Megachile (Eutricharaea) rotundata and M. (Eutricharaea) apicalis

Creator:: Chen, Xiaoshe
Abstract:: Thirteen New World populations of Megachile rotundata and M. apicalis and two Old World populations of M. rotundata were analyzed at 23 enzyme loci using cellulose acetate electrophoresis. Conventional and G- or C-banded karyotypes were also examined in these populations. The principal findings are (1) No differences were found in...

Evaluating the Attractiveness of Pacific Northwest Native Plants to Insects and Gardeners

Creator:: Anderson, Aaron G.
Abstract:: Due to a growing body of literature documenting declines in pollinator populations, there has been increased public interest in pollinator conservation. In urban and suburban landscapes, many gardeners and urban land managers are interested in gardening for pollinators, particularly bees. Simultaneously, many homeowners and municipalities are interested in other aspects...
