Examining gaps between interest and understanding of provisioning for bees: A capstone project in support of urban bee conservation

Creator:: Bennett, Lauren
Abstract:: Many pollinators across the globe are experiencing population threats and declines (Potts et al. 2010). Approximately 85 percent of the world’s flowering plants depend on animals, mostly insects, for pollination (Ollerton et al. 2011). As over 80 percent of the United States population lives in cities (U.S. Census Bureau 2016),...

First Detection of the Larval Chalkbrood Disease Pathogen Ascosphaera apis (Ascomycota: Eurotiomycetes: Ascosphaerales) in Adult Bumble Bees

Creator:: Maxfield-Taylor, Sarah A., Mujic, Alija B., and Rao, Sujaya
Abstract:: Fungi in the genus Ascosphaera (Ascomycota: Eurotiomycetes: Ascosphaerales) cause chalkbrood disease in larvae of bees. Here, we report the first-ever detection of the fungus in adult bumble bees that were raised in captivity for studies on colony development. Wild queens of Bombus griseocollis, B. nevadensis and B. vosnesenskii were collected...

Banks, Gardens and Bees: Enhancing Community Resilience in West Africa

Creator:: Polasky, Sophia
Abstract:: International development programs are often implemented with the goal of building community resilience, but without a clear articulation of how this goal will be met, or any consideration of if or why the effort was successful after it has concluded. This thesis considers three different activities implemented by the U....

Wild bee diversity is enhanced by experimental removal of timber harvest residue within intensively managed conifer forest

Creator:: Rivers, James W., Mathis, Codey L., Moldenke, Andrew R., and Betts, Matthew G.
Abstract:: The use of timber harvest residue as an energy source is thought to have environmental benefits relative to food-based crops, yet the ecological impact of this practice remains largely unknown. We assessed whether the abundance and diversity of wild bees (Apoidea) were influenced by the removal of harvest residue and...

Linden (Tilia cordata) associated bumble bee mortality : metabolomic analysis of nectar and bee muscle

Creator:: Lande, Claire, Rao, Sujaya, Morre, Jeffrey T., Galindo, Gracie, Kirby, Julie, Reardon, Patrick N., Bobe, Gerd, and Stevens, Jan Frederik
Abstract:: Linden (Tilia spp.), a profusely flowering temperate tree that provides bees with vital pollen and nectar, has been associated with bumble bee (Bombus spp.) mortality in Europe and North America. Bee deaths have been attributed, with inadequate evidence, to toxicity from mannose in nectar or starvation due to low nectar...

Dataset: Experimental evaluation of herbicide use on biodiversity, ecosystem services and timber production tradeoffs in forest plantations.

Creator:: Thomas D. Stokely
Abstract:: This dataset includes species richness of native plants, pollinators and birds as well as 13 proxies for ecosystem services representing timber production, culturally-valued plants and animals, and regulating services tied to forest productivity. The data were collected from an experiment conducted in the Oregon Coast Range USA that sought to...

Honey bee (Apis mellifera) colony strength and its effects on pollination and yield in highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum)

Creator:: Grant, Kennedy J.
Abstract:: Many pollination studies with honey bees have examined the effect of colony density on crop yield and yet overlook the effect of variation in the population size of these colonies. High colony density in northern highbush blueberry has been met with concerns from beekeepers who feel higher densities will intensify...

Investigating synergistic effects of climate and land-use change on the pollination of a tropical plant, Heliconia tortuosa

Creator:: Dowd, Claire E.
Abstract:: Loss of biodiversity due to the effects of climate and land-use change may have implications for pollination services. Disruption to phenological synchronicity or a reduction in the overlap in species distributions of plants and their pollinators may reduce floral resources to pollinators, forcing them to move farther distances. If pollinators...

Investigation and Implementation of a Liquid Feeding System for the Apis mellifera Honey bee under Laboratory Conditions

Creator:: Meador, Brett W.
Abstract:: Studying honey bee behavior is a very important aspect of horticulture, especially in recent years as honey bee colonies face population decline, or colony collapse. While studying honey bees, researchers often keep honey bees in captivity, where it can be challenging to meet nutritional and hydration requirements using existing liquid...

Into the Garden: Environmental Education and Resources for K-5

Creator:: Smith, Amira R.
Abstract:: This thesis aims to address barriers that K-5 educators face when implementing environmental education in classrooms. An in-depth study of the history of environmental education in the United States identifies primary barriers and issues. Focusing specifically on garden education programs, six lesson plans for K-5 were created to address the...
