Although artificial intelligence (AI) methods are increasingly applied to biological data, their use in modeling insect reproductive impairments remains limited. Here, we show that machine learning can reveal biologically meaningful fertility patterns in male (drone) honey bees (Apis mellifera) and enable interpretable predictions of pesticide-induced reproductive impairments. Using an integrated machine learning framework, we characterized spermatozoa quality in A. mellifera drones exposed to neonicotinoid pesticides. K-means clustering identified three distinct spermatozoa quality profiles (low, mid, high), which were validated against reproductive benchmarks and predicted with 96% accuracy using the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm. SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis revealed live spermatozoa count as the most decisive predictor, underscoring the interpretability and biological relevance of the model.

Both of these foraging behaviors are commonly observed among social insects, and particularly bees who frequently encounter other con- or heterospecific bees on flowers while foraging. The conditions that lead foragers to show these behaviors are contextual, and it has been difficult to draw general conclusions about the behaviors of different species without a quantitative analysis. We used a meta-analysis and vote count to synthesize literature on foraging bee behavior to test if bees more often show local enhancement or local inhibition and what circumstances lead to these two different foraging behaviors. Both our meta-analysis and vote count showed that, overall, foraging bees prefer to land on occupied flowers (local enhancement). Based on our vote count, we found that bees were more likely to show local enhancement when they were naïve, when the visual cue was from a conspecific, when experimental flowers were fake, or when the experiment happened in the lab. In comparison, local inhibition was more likely when the visual cue was a heterospecific bee, the experiment used a crushed bee, or when experimental flowers were real. Our meta-analysis provides a foundation to understand broad-scale patterns of local enhancement or local inhibition in bees. Understanding these behaviors is important because they can have contrasting effects on pollination and plant reproduction.</div>","PeriodicalId":8078,"journal":{"name":"Apidologie","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145950679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, despite their assumed relevance as pollinators of tropical plants, there is no information on how nocturnal bees respond to the loss of suitable habitats and forest succession. Here, we investigated the recovery of Megalopta bees, a prominent group of nocturnal pollinators, within a forest regeneration chronosequence in northwestern Ecuador. We also assessed the group’s resource use and the recovery of interaction networks by employing next-generation sequencing on pollen loads. Megalopta bees showed low resistance and delayed recovery, as abundance had not recovered to pre-disturbance forest levels after 38 years of succession. Stratification was the strongest recovery driver, with bees strongly associated with old-growth canopies. In contrast, their diet was broad, encompassing more than 120 plant species. However, the bulk of pollen loads was constituted by pioneer species, while primary forest trees and plants with specialized nocturnal pollination systems were less represented. The use of diverse resources not necessarily tied to old-growth forests thus contributed to network stability across succession. We provide the first molecular assessment of the diet of nocturnal bees, expanding the understanding of their resource range. While dietary breadth may buffer the adverse effects of disturbance on the group, their low resilience and dependence on the canopies of old, structurally complex forests, potentially for nesting, suggest that nocturnal bees are quite vulnerable to the loss of large portions of primary habitats.</div>","PeriodicalId":8078,"journal":{"name":"Apidologie","volume":"56 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13592-025-01231-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145613089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we estimated the oral median lethal dose (LD50) in both bee species. Next, LAB were isolated from both bee species and subjected to sensitivity tests against the four pesticides. Finally, bees fed with those LAB strains that were not inhibited by the pesticides were orally exposed to the LD50 of the insecticides. Scaptotrigona mexicana was more susceptible to spinetoram and cypermethrin compared to A. mellifera, which displayed greater susceptibility to malathion and imidacloprid. Sixteen LAB strains were selected for further scrutiny, ten from S. mexicana and six from A. mellifera. All strains from A. mellifera were discarded since they were susceptible to at least one insecticide. Conversely, none of the S. mexicana LAB strains was inhibited by them and was evaluated for any potential protective role against insecticides. Both S. mexicana and A. mellifera bees fed with LAB experienced a reduction of nearly 50% in the mortality by cypermethrin. No significant difference was observed between fed and unfed groups with the other insecticides.

This decline is largely attributed to various stressors, particularly agrochemical exposure which demonstrably reduces bee longevity and foraging efficiency. Bees possess a sophisticated three-phase detoxification system, involving key enzymes such as cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, glutathione-s-transferases, and carboxylesterases, to counter the detrimental effects of foreign substances (xenobiotics). However, the combined exposure to insecticides, fungicides, and other agrochemicals often leads to synergistic toxicity, overwhelming these detoxification pathways. Understanding the mechanisms of these synergistic interactions is crucial for comprehending their amplified impact. Research approaches range from basic methods like bioassays and enzyme activity studies to advanced methodologies such as transcriptomics, proteomics, and functional gene analyses, all aimed at elucidating the molecular basis of pesticide detoxification. Beyond enzymatic mechanisms, diet plays a pivotal role in modulating gene expression and enhancing bee resilience. Nutritional components found in pollen, propolis, honey, and various phytochemicals are vital in mitigating the risks posed by xenobiotics. This review focuses on several key areas: the differential pesticide sensitivity between susceptible and resistant bee populations, the enzymatic mechanisms underlying xenobiotic detoxification in bees, the processes driving xenobiotic synergy, and the importance of multifaceted approaches to investigate the molecular factors contributing to pesticide tolerance. Furthermore, it explores the influence of diet-dependent gene expression on detoxification pathways, offering valuable insights to improve bee resilience and support ongoing sustainability efforts.</div>","PeriodicalId":8078,"journal":{"name":"Apidologie","volume":"56 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145612799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
