Brood parasitism reduces but does not prevent Bombus terrestris reproductive success
Insect Science, EarlyView.Graphical depiction of the colony splitting process. Throughout figures in this paper, results pertaining to host success are represented in blue, and cuckoo success is represented in red. Abstract Cuckoo bumblebees are obligate brood parasites that must invade a colony of their host bumblebee species in order to reproduce.

Supplemental feeding of honey bees
California Agriculture, 1968 These results indicate that ratings of honey bee colonies based on bee numbers and brood area, were most useful in predicting the pollen-collecting activity by those colonies when the rating was done within 21 days, or one brood cycle, of the pollination

Spatial Dynamics and Lifespan of Adult Cicadas After Fire and Logging: A Radiotracking Study
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study investigates the effects of wildfire and post‐fire salvage logging on the survival, spatial behavior, and habitat selection of Lyristes plebejus cicadas in Mediterranean pine forests. A total of 63 cicadas were captured, tagged with radio transmitters, and released in three disturbance contexts: burnt‐logged, burnt‐unlogged, and unburnt ...

Potential Correlation Between Bombus lantschouensis Thoracic Morphology and Flight Behavior
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Potential correlation between Bombus lantschouensis thoracic morphology and flight behavior. ABSTRACT Remarkably little modern work has investigated the thoracic structures of insects and their relationship to flight locomotion. Most studies focus exclusively on either morphology or flight kinematics.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Brain size may be influenced by the cognitive demands of sociality (social brain hypothesis). We used microCT to compare CNS and brain volumes in social versus solitary huntsman and crab spiders. Social huntsman spiders had larger arcuate and mushroom bodies, while social crab spiders had larger visual neuropils.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Camera traps, combined with AI, have emerged to achieve automated, scalable biodiversity monitoring. However, passive infrared (PIR) sensors that typically trigger camera traps are poorly suited for detecting small, fast‐moving ectotherms such as insects. Insects comprise over half of all animal species and are key components of ecosystems and

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.Phenological growth stages of Greyia radlkoferi: The phenological growth stages of Greyia radlkoferi were monitored for a period of 3 years from 2018, 2019 and 2020. The flower budding, bud burst, flowering, fading, fruiting, seeding, leaf senescence and vegetative stage were recorded. The tyrosinase inhibitory activity of G.
