文摘
- •
Propose and study a honeybee-mite-virus model to explore potential links to CCD.
- •
Understand the synergistic effects of parasitism and virus infections on honeybee colonies.
- •
Low adult workers to brood ratios have destabilizing effects that generate fluctuating dynamics.
- •
Low adult workers to brood ratios can lead to sudden extinction of both honeybees and mites.
- •
Virus infections have stabilizing effects, and parasitic mites make disease more persistent.
