Bees are critically important for ecosystem function and
biodiversity maintenance through their pollinating activity.
Unfortunately, bee populations are faced with many threats, and
evidence of a massive global pollination crisis is steadily
growing. As a result, there is a need to understand and, ideally,
predict how bees respond to pollution disturbance, to the changes
over landscape gradients, and how their responses can vary in
different habitats, which are influenced to different degrees by
human activities. Modeling approaches are useful to simulate the
behavior of whole population dynamics as well as to focus on
important phenomena detrimental to bee-life history traits. They
also allow simulation of how a disease or a pesticide can impact
the survival and growth of a bee population. In Silico Bees
provides a collection of computational methods to those primarily
interested in the study of the ecology, ethology, and ecotoxicology
of bees. The book presents different cases studies to enable
readers to understand the significance and also the limitations of
models in theoretical and applied bee research. The text covers
modeling of honey bee society organization, infectious diseases in
colonies, pesticide toxicity, chemical contamination of the hive,
and more. Written by an international team of scientists, this book
is of primary interest to those whose research or professional
activity is directly concerned with the study of bees. It is also
intended to provide graduate and post-graduate students with a
clear and accessible text covering the main types of modeling
approaches that can be used in terrestrial ecology and
ecotoxicology.
