This paper develops a trait-based predictive model to assess arthropod invasion potential, applying it to Tropilaelaps mites to identify key traits and predict their invasive capacity.

The paper examines how environmental variation affects the distribution of phenotypic and genetic traits in the ant species Formica podzolica, revealing variation in supergene haplotype frequencies and phenotypic mismatches along a latitudinal gradient.

This study evaluates formic acid and thermal remediation for controlling Tropilaelaps and Varroa mites in honey bee colonies, finding formic acid more effective than thermal treatment.

The paper presents high-quality de novo genome assemblies for two dwarf honey bee species using hybrid sequencing, showing improved contiguity and completeness compared to previous studies.
