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 ...

Is the Brood Pattern within a Honey Bee Colony a Reliable Indicator of Queen Quality?
Insects, 2019 Failure of the queen is often identified as a leading cause of honey bee colony mortality. However, the factors that can contribute to “queen failure” are poorly defined and often misunderstood.

To brood or not to brood: Are marine invertebrates that protect their offspring more resilient to ocean acidification? [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractAnthropogenic atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is being absorbed by seawater resulting in increasingly acidic oceans, a process known as ocean acidification (OA). OA is thought to have largely deleterious effects on marine invertebrates, primarily impacting early life stages and consequently, their recruitment and species’ survival.

Brood recognition and discrimination in ants
Insectes Sociaux, 2020 In social insect colonies, individuals need to communicate to coordinate cooperative tasks and protect the colony and its resources against intruders. To maintain colony integrity, it can be particularly important to recognize nestmates and discriminate ...

Bumblebees adjust protein and lipid collection rules to the presence of brood
Current Zoology, 2019 Animals have evolved foraging strategies to acquire blends of nutrients that maximize fitness traits. In social insects, nutrient regulation is complicated by the fact that few individuals, the foragers, must address the divergent nutritional needs of ...

Environmental assessment for the Satellite Power System (SPS): Studies of honey bees exposed to 2.45 GHz continuous wave electromagnetic energy [PDF]
, 1980 Post treatment brood development was normal and teratological effects were not detected at exposures of 3 to 50 mw sq cm for 30 minutes. Post treatment survival, longevity, orientation, navigation, and memory of adult bees were also normal after ...

Nest and brood site selection of eastern wild turkeys
Journal of Wildlife Management, 2018 Management of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) forests relies on frequent prescribed fire to maintain desirable plant communities. Prescribed fire is often applied while female wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) are reproductively active and may ...

Current Biology, 2013 For many animals, the effort to rear their young is considerable. In birds, this often includes building nests, incubating eggs, feeding the chicks, and protecting them from predators. Perhaps for this reason, about 1% of birds (around 100 species) save themselves the effort and cheat instead. They are obligate brood parasites, laying their eggs in the

Waste management in the stingless bee Melipona beecheii Bennett (Hymenoptera: Apidae) [PDF]
, 2014 Waste management is important in insect societies because waste can be hazardous to adults, brood and food stores. The general organization of waste management and the influence of task partitioning, division of labor and age polyethism on waste ...
