The trypanosomatid (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) parasites in bees: A review on their environmental circulation, impacts and implications by Rossella Tiritelli, Giovanni Cilia, Tamara Gómez-Moracho

“…In bumblebees, studies highlighted the widespread presence of C. bombi, affecting colony and individual fitness, development, and foraging behaviour. Bee trypanosomatids have been detected in various species, including other insects, and mammals, suggesting diverse epidemiological pathways and potential effects that warrant further investigation. …”

Fish protein fertilizer serves as a sustainable alternative, improving soil properties, bamboo growth and shoots yield in Lei bamboo forests by Jiancheng Zhao, Huijing Ni, Bo Wang, Zhenya Yang

“…Overall, amino acid fertilizer can promote microbial growth through supplying carbon sources and nitrogen sources, enhance soil enzyme activity, thus promote phosphorus activation and increase soil phosphorus effectiveness, and then expand the scale of root foraging and ultimately improve nutrients absorption and increase bamboo shoot yield.…”

Leafcutter Ant Nests Inhibit Low-Intensity Fire Spread in the Understory of Transitional Forests at the Amazon's Forest-Savanna Boundary by Karine S. Carvalho, Ane Alencar, Jennifer Balch, Paulo Moutinho

“…Leaf-cutter ants (Atta spp.) remove leaf litter and woody debris—potential fuels—in and around their nests and foraging trails. We conducted single and three annual experimental fires to determine the effects of this leaf-cutter ant activity on the behavior of low-intensity, slow-moving fires. …”
