Vieira J, de Oliveira L, Barrigossi J, Guedes R, Smagghe G, Maebe K
Pest Manag Sci . 2022 Nov; 79(3):959-968. PMID: 36317949
Background: A first step in any pest management initiative is recognizing the existing problem - identifying the pest species and its abundance and dispersal capacities. This is not simple and...

Beche M, Arnemann J, Silva J, Pozebon H, Valmorbida I, Brondani L, et al.
Neotrop Entomol . 2022 Oct; 51(6):809-820. PMID: 36315395
Bumblebees are essential insects for the preservation of biodiversity in many ecosystems, as they can pollinate a wide variety of wild and cultivated plants. Knowledge of the genetic diversity of...

Hart A, Verbeeck J, Ariza D, Cejas D, Ghisbain G, Honchar H, et al.
Front Genet . 2022 Oct; 13:993416. PMID: 36276969
Human-induced environmental impacts on wildlife are widespread, causing major biodiversity losses. One major threat is agricultural intensification, typically characterised by large areas of monoculture, mechanical tillage, and the use of...

Maebe K, De Baets A, Vandamme P, Vereecken N, Michez D, Smagghe G
J Therm Biol . 2021 Aug; 99:103002. PMID: 34420633
Climate change is an important driver of bee decline despite the fact that many species might respond to climate change differently. One method to predict how a species will respond...

Maebe K, Hart A, Marshall L, Vandamme P, Vereecken N, Michez D, et al.
Glob Chang Biol . 2021 Jun; 27(18):4223-4237. PMID: 34118096
Bumblebees are ubiquitous, cold-adapted eusocial bees found worldwide from subarctic to tropical regions of the world. They are key pollinators in most temperate and boreal ecosystems, and both wild and...

Maebe K, Karise R, Meeus I, Mand M, Smagghe G
Front Genet . 2020 Jan; 10:1262. PMID: 31921301
Bumblebee species with declining population trends tend to show lower genetic diversity levels than stable species. The observed difference might be explained by abundance differences, with declining bumblebee species having...

Gerard M, Martinet B, Maebe K, Marshall L, Smagghe G, Vereecken N, et al.
Glob Chang Biol . 2019 Oct; 26(3):1185-1195. PMID: 31665557
Species can respond differently when facing environmental changes, such as by shifting their geographical ranges or through plastic or adaptive modifications to new environmental conditions. Phenotypic modifications related to environmental...

Maebe K, Karise R, Meeus I, Mand M, Smagghe G
Sci Rep . 2019 Jul; 9(1):9651. PMID: 31273269
Several population genetic studies investigated the extent of gene flow and population connectivity in bumblebees. In general, no restriction in gene flow is considered for mainland populations of common bumblebee...

Broeckx B, Smet L, Blacquiere T, Maebe K, Khalenkow M, Van Poucke M, et al.
Sci Rep . 2019 May; 9(1):7794. PMID: 31127129
Host-parasite co-evolution history is lacking when parasites switch to novel hosts. This was the case for Western honey bees (Apis mellifera) when the ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor, switched hosts from...

Maebe K, Meeus I, Vray S, Claeys T, Dekoninck W, Boeve J, et al.
Sci Rep . 2016 Dec; 6:38289. PMID: 27917908
Since the 1950s, bumblebee (Bombus) species are showing a clear decline worldwide. Although many plausible drivers have been hypothesized, the cause(s) of this phenomenon remain debated. Here, genetic diversity in...
