| dc.description.abstract | This thesis investigated the relationship between a parasitic nematode (Sphaerularia
bombi) and its bumble bee host (Bombus spp.). The parasite is contracted by queens
during their hibernation in the ground. Infected queens are castrated and undergo a
behavioural change that aids in the dispersal of parasite larvae to potential over-wintering
sites of new queens. | |
