Variation in North American bumble bee nest success and colony sizes under captive rearing conditions
<p>Of the 265 known bumble bee (<em>Bombus</em>) species, knowledge of colony lifecycle is derived from relatively few species. As interest in <em>Bombus</em> commercialization and conservation grows, it is becoming increasingly important to understand colony growth dynamics across a variety of species since variation exists in nest success, colony growth, and reproductive output. In this study, we documented successful nest initiation and establishment rates of colonies produced from wild-caught gynes, and created a timeline of colony development for fifteen western North American <em>Bombus </em>species captively reared from 2009 to 2019. Additionally, we assessed variation in colony size among five western North American <em>Bombus </em>species from 2015 to 2018. Nest initiation and establishment rates varied greatly among species, ranging from 5–76.1% and 0–71.8%, respectively. <em>Bombus griseocollis </em>had the highest rates of nest success across the eleven-year period, followed by <em>B. occidentalis, B. vosnesenskii, </em>and <em>B. huntii. </em>Further, we identified that colonies reared from two gynes had significantly higher nest initiation and establishment rates per nest box compared to those reared from a single gyne. Colony size also differed significantly among species with <em>B. huntii </em>and <em>B. vosnesenskii </em>producing more worker/drone cells than <em>B. griseocollis, B. occidentalis, </em>and <em>B. vancouverensis. </em>Additionally, gyne production differed significantly among species with <em>B. huntii </em>colonies producing more gynes than <em>B. vosnesenskii. </em>Results from this study increase knowledge of systematic nesting biology for numerous western North American <em>Bombus </em>species under captive rearing conditions, which can further improve rearing techniques available to conservationists and researchers.</p>

Environmental DNA-based detection of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in captive settings
<p>Detecting pathogens in the live animal trade is critical for tracking and preventing their movement, introduction, and spillover into susceptible fauna. However, the scale of the live animal trade makes individually testing animals infeasible for all but the most economically important taxa. For instance, while the fungal pathogen, <em>Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans</em> (<em>Bsal</em>), threatens amphibian, particularly caudate diversity, in Europe and the Americas, screening even a fraction of the millions of live amphibians imported into the United States, alone, is impractically laborious and expensive. A promising alternative to individual-level sampling (e.g., swabbing the skin of salamanders) is to instead collect DNA from the animals' environment (e.g., housing container or water) which allows us to screen a whole group of animals at a time. </p> <p>We used a series of experiments with <em>Bsal</em>-spiked water and substrates and experimentally infected rough-skinned newts (<em>Taricha granulosa</em>) to determine how best to collect <em>Bsal</em> environmental DNA (eDNA) samples, that is, which methods yield the greatest recovery of <em>Bsal</em> eDNA, and evaluate the capacity of these methods to detect <em>Bsal</em>-infected animals in conditions that might be found in captive settings and trade.</p> <p>We found that filtering water housing infected animals for even an hour can consistently recover detectable levels of <em>Bsal</em> eDNA, that there is little evidence of <em>Bsal </em>eDNA being clumped in housing containers or being swamped or inhibited under realistically dirty conditions, and that eDNA-based methods achieves an equivalent or higher chance of detecting <em>Bsal</em> infections in a group of co-housed newts with fewer samples than traditional methods of individually swabbing.</p> <p>By sampling the genetic materials shed or produced by a whole group of animals, eDNA-based methods are a powerful means of detecting pathogens, such as <em>Bsal,</em> in shipment and captive population. These methods bring routine pathogen surveillance into reach in many more contexts and can thus be an important tool in conservation and disease control.</p>
