Behavioral modifications lead to disparate demographic consequences in two sympatric species
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Life‐history theory suggests species that typically have a large number of offspring and high adult mortality may make decisions that benefit offspring survival in exchange for increased adult risks.

Male survivorship and the evolution of eusociality in partially bivoltine sweat bees
PLoS ONE, 2022 Eusociality, where workers typically forfeit their own reproduction to assist their mothers in raising siblings, is a fundamental paradox in evolutionary biology.

The influence of temperature and photoperiod on the timing of brood onset in hibernating honey bee colonies [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 In order to save resources, honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies in the temperate zones stop brood rearing during winter. Brood rearing is resumed in late winter to build up a sufficient worker force that allows to exploit floral resources in upcoming ...

Nest enlargement in leaf-cutting ants: relocated brood and fungus trigger the excavation of new chambers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 During colony growth, leaf-cutting ants enlarge their nests by excavating tunnels and chambers housing their fungus gardens and brood. Workers are expected to excavate new nest chambers at locations across the soil profile that offer suitable ...

The threat of pesticide and disease co-exposure to managed and wild bee larvae
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022 Brood diseases and pesticides can reduce the survival of bee larvae, reduce bee populations, and negatively influence ecosystem biodiversity. However, major gaps persist in our knowledge regarding the routes and implications of co-exposure to these ...
