Honey bees as biomonitors of environmental contaminants, pathogens, and climate change

Ecological Indicators, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 134, P. 108457 - 108457

Published: Dec. 16, 2021

Monitoring the environment for pollution, pesticides, and pathogens is crucial protecting human, agriculture, overall ecosystem health. Diverse strategies ranging from physical sensors to sentinel species have been used environmental monitoring. The European honey bee, Apis mellifera, a globally managed pollinator that can serve as continuous biomonitoring species. During foraging, bees are exposed contaminants carry them their hives where they be detected quantified. Although individual vulnerable stressors, bee colony whole more resilient accumulate or respond without collapsing. This allows long-term monitoring of map in geographical area study ecotoxicology gradients over space time. In this paper, we review demonstrated proposed uses We focus our discussion on heavy metals, air pollutants, plant hive materials including honey, wax, stored pollen. present use gene expression, microbiome profiling, other high-throughput methodologies dose-dependent exposure increase detection sensitivity; example, pollen analysis with next generation sequencing reveal presence viruses, fungi, invasive earlier than traditional methods. Finally, discuss opportunities using monitor emerging threats such climate change antimicrobial resistance. narrative highlights versatility potential utility

Characterization of Apis mellifera Gastrointestinal Microbiota and Lactic Acid Bacteria for Honeybee Protection—A Review

Cells, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 10(3), P. 701 - 701

Published: March 22, 2021

Numerous honeybee (Apis mellifera) products, such as honey, propolis, and bee venom, are used in traditional medicine to prevent illness promote healing. Therefore, this insect has a huge impact on humans’ way of life the environment. While population A. mellifera is large, there concern that widespread commercialization beekeeping, combined with environmental pollution action pathogens, caused significant problems for health populations. One strategies preserve welfare honeybees better understand protect their natural microbiota. This paper provides unique overview latest research features functioning mellifera. Honeybee microbiome analysis focuses both function numerous factors affecting it. In addition, we present characteristics lactic acid bacteria (LAB) an important part gut community special beneficial activities health. The idea probiotics promising tool improve widely discussed. Knowledge microbiota opportunity create broad strategy vitality, including development modern probiotic preparations use instead conventional antibiotics, environmentally friendly biocides, biological control agents.

Ecological and toxicological assessments of anthropogenic contaminants based on environmental metabolomics

Environmental Science and Ecotechnology, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 5, P. 100081 - 100081

Published: Jan. 1, 2021

There has long been a great concern with growing anthropogenic contaminants and their ecological toxicological effects on living organisms the surrounding environment for decades. Metabolomics, functional readout of cellular activity, can capture organismal responses to various contaminant-related stressors, acquiring direct signatures illustrate environmental behaviours better. This review entails application metabolomics profile metabolic organisms, e.g. animals (rodents, fish, crustacean earthworms) microorganisms (bacteria, yeast microalgae) different contaminants, including heavy metals, nanomaterials, pesticides, pharmaceutical personal products, persistent organic pollutants, assesses ecotoxicological impacts regard literature published in recent five years. Contaminant-induced metabolism alteration up/down-regulation pathways are revealed typical organisms. The obtained insights variations global provide distinct understanding how exert influences specific Thus novel ecotechnique metabolomics, risk assessments profoundly demonstrated.

Pollutants and Their Interaction with Diseases of Social Hymenoptera

Insects, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 11(3), P. 153 - 153

Published: March 1, 2020

Many insect species, including social insects, are currently declining in abundance and diversity. Pollutants such as pesticides, heavy metals, or airborne fine particulate matter from agricultural industrial sources among the factors driving this decline. While these pollutants can have direct detrimental effects, they also result negative interactive effects when insects simultaneously exposed to multiple stressors. For example, sublethal of increase disease susceptibility thereby jeopardize their survival. Here we review how interact with physiology especially insects' immune system. We then give an overview current knowledge pathogens parasites. pesticide exposure on interactions been relatively well studied, other pollutants, metals soil combustion, vehicular transport, agriculture, coal mining still largely unknown. therefore provide urgently needed order mitigate decline insects.

Honeybees are the most prevalent insect pollinator species; they pollinate a wide range of crops. Colony collapse disorder (CCD), which is caused by variety biotic and abiotic factors, incurs high economic/ecological loss. Despite extensive research to identify study various ecological stressors such as microbial infections, exposure pesticides, loss habitat, improper beekeeping practices that claimed cause these declines, deep understanding observed losses important insects still missing. have an innate immune system, includes physical barriers cellular humeral responses defend against pathogens parasites. Exposure may affect this system health individual bees colonies. This review summarizes discusses composition honeybee consequences stressors, individually or in combinations, on competence.

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are agriculturally important pollinators. Over the past decades, significant losses of wild and domestic have been reported in many parts world. Several biotic abiotic factors, such as change land use over time, intensive management, pesticides, climate change, beekeeper’s management practices, lack forage (nectar pollen), infection by parasites pathogens, negatively affect honey bee’s well-being survival. The gut microbiota is for bee growth development, immune function, protection against pathogen invasion; moreover, a well-balanced fundamental to support health vigor. In fact, structure intestinal bacterial community can become an indicator status. Lactic acid bacteria normal inhabitants gastrointestinal tract insects, their presence has consistently literature. first section this review, recent scientific advances LABs probiotic supplements diet summarized discussed. second discusses some mechanisms which carry out antimicrobial activity pathogens.

There is now general concern about widespread antibiotic resistance, and growing evidence indicates that gut microbiota critical in providing resistance. Honeybee an important pollinator; the incidence of resistance genes honeybee causes potential risks to not only its own health but also public animal health, for disseminator role, thus receiving more attention from public. Recent analysis results reveal serves as a reservoir genes, probably due antibiotics application history beekeeping horizontal gene transfer highly polluted environment. These accumulate could be transferred pathogen, even having spread during pollination, tending, social interactions, etc. Newly acquired traits may cause fitness reduction bacteria whereas facilitating adaptive evolution well.
