Declining bumblebee populations are at greater risk of inbreeding, which can trigger a downward spiral of further decline. Researchers writing in the open access journal BMC Evolutionary Biology have provided the first proof that inbreeding reduces colony fitness under natural conditions by increasing the production of reproductively inefficient 'diploid' males.

Scottish-led scientists say they've discovered the first proof that inbreeding reduces bumblebee colony fitness by hiking production of inefficient males. The scientists led by Penelope Whitehorn from the University of Stirling said the sex of bumblebees is normally determined by the number of chromosome sets an individual receives.
