Immune response impairs learning in free-flying bumble-bees. [PDF]

, 2008
Parasites can influence different host behaviours including foraging, mate choice and predator avoidance. Several recent papers have shown reduced learning abilities in infected insects.

Delomization, or the esoteric Nechung kang so, the Dalai Lama, and exilic imaginings of a Tibetan community

Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 2, August 2026.
Abstract I propose the concept of delomization, the process whereby a sign comes to be understood as a symbol. I term such signs delomes. With rhematization and dicentization, delomization completes the triplet that linguistic anthropologists derive from Charles Sanders Peirce's third trichotomy.

Honey wasps differ from other wasps in possessing large gut communities dominated by host-restricted bacteria

mBio
Honey-feeding social bees, including honey bees, bumble bees, and stingless bees, possess distinctive gut bacterial communities that provide benefits to hosts, such as defense against pathogens and parasites.

Light and Pollination Limitation Alter Patterns of Fitness and Phenotypic Selection in Sagittaria trifolia L.: Insights From Sequential Inflorescences

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We examined how light limitation and reduced pollinator access influence female fitness and phenotypic selection in Sagittaria trifolia across sequential inflorescences. Open‐grown plants produced the most inflorescences, flowers, and seeds, whereas mesh‐enclosed plants compensated for low early fruit set through later reproductive adjustment and ...

Colour reverse learning and animal personalities: the advantage of behavioural diversity assessed with agent-based simulations

, 2012
Foraging bees use colour cues to help identify rewarding from unrewarding flowers, but as conditions change, bees may require behavioural flexibility to reverse their learnt preferences.

Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles for Food Applications: From Synthesis and Functional Properties to Safety and Sustainability

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
Green and conventional synthesis routes produce ZnO nanoparticles with tunable physicochemical properties for food applications, ZnO‐NPs enhance antimicrobial activity, UV protection, and food preservation through ROS generation and ZN2+ release. However, particle dissolution, migration, cytotoxicity, and environmental concerns highlight the need for ...
