Agri-environment nectar chemistry suppresses parasite social epidemiology in an important pollinator

This study shows that caffeine in nectar reduces Nosema bombi infection in bumblebees and impacts social disease transmission.

Pollen sterols are associated with phylogenetics and environment but not with pollinators

This study quantifies pollen phytosterols across 122 plant species and finds phylogenetic clustering and environmental adaptation but no link to pollinator guilds.
