Occurrence and evolution of cannibal behaviour in extant snakes

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 644-664, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Extant snakes (Serpentes) are a highly diverse group of squamate reptiles, which have independently evolved key morphological adaptations to consume a large variety of vertebrate and invertebrate prey. While these predator–prey interactions have been widely addressed by several studies, little is known regarding the occurrence of cannibal ...

Detecting a Small Hive Beetle's eDNA in Honeybee Colonies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 277-284, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Early detection is important to limit the spread of invasive species. Molecular diagnosis using eDNA can be useful in this regard, but the sensitivity is often unknown. This holds true for small hive beetles (SHB), which are parasites of honeybee (HB) colonies and continue to spread globally.

Honey Bees in the Tropics Show Winter Bee-Like Longevity in Response to Seasonal Dearth and Brood Reduction

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Upon their first introduction to Americas in 1956, African honey bees (Apis mellifera scutellata) hybridized with the previously introduced and already established European honey bees (EHBs).

Evaluating Electric Harps and Muzzles to Mitigate the Impact of Vespa velutina nigrithorax at Beehives

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 364-375, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The Asian hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) poses a significant threat to the beekeeping industry. Using an experimental apiary of 36 hives, we simultaneously evaluated the effectiveness of two mitigation measures—muzzles and electric harps—in reducing the impact of Asian hornets on honey bee colonies.

Occurrence of Lotmaria Passim in Africanized and European Honey Bee, Apis Mellifera, Lineages from the United States

Journal of Apicultural Science
Honey bee populations in the United States have been under stress for the past several decades. Several internal parasites may contribute to this, including the trypanosome Lotmaria passim. It is unknown how widespread the honey bee parasite, L.

Living As If We All Mattered: Kinship and Other Gifts in Community

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy, Volume 47, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Living as if we all mattered in a society that does the opposite is an act of resistance. It builds resilience within communities, bringing gifts of relationality. Cathy and Chris are human service workers who aim to transcend the binary of practitioner/patient.

Evaluating Aversion to Eye‐Like Stimuli as a Foraging Deterrent in Urban European Herring Gulls

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We tested whether eye‐like and high contrast patterns on takeaway food boxes deterred urban herring gulls from approaching and pecking at food boxes. Gulls were slower to approach and less likely to peck at boxes with eyes, and the deterrent effect persisted in the short‐term for some gulls. When used alongside other deterrents, eye‐like stimuli may be

Determination of the Africanized mitotypes in populations of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) of Colombia

, 2018
Apis mellifera beekeeping in Colombia began with European lineages brought by the Spanish colonizers of America. Experimental swarms of African lineages that accidentally escaped in Brazil in the 1950s reached Colombia in the 1970s, starting a genetic ...

Cooperative human signals to honeyguides form local dialects

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 682-694, March 2026.
Abstract Human language enables the exchange of complex information and precise instructions for collaborative planning and action. It rapidly evolves through social learning, generating diverse cultural communication signals used not only with other humans, but also with domesticated animals bred or trained to respond.

A comparison of the hygienic response of Africanized and European (Apis mellifera carnica) honey bees to Varroa-infested brood in tropical Brazil

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2000
In order to examine the significance of hygienic behavior for the tolerance to varroosis of Africanized honey bees, they were compared with non-tolerant Carniolans in tropical Brazil.
