Feasibility of Preparing Nesting Box and Luring Large Solitary Carpenter Bee, Xylocopa Valga

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2017
Xylocopa valga, commonly called the carpenter bee and the largest bee with metallicviolet hair cover, is extremely rarely observed in Poland. We hypothesize that a stable and possibly long-term population of X.

In the Pursuit of Innovation: The Role of Top Management Team Functional Diversity and Open Discussion in Family Firm Innovation Intentions

Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Academic Summary Interest in family firm innovation has increased in recent times, generating the assumption that family firms are less willing to innovate than nonfamily firms. We investigate firm innovation inputs by examining whether family firms differ from nonfamily counterparts regarding innovation intentions.

Nocturnal Bees Feed on Diurnal Leftovers and Pay the Price of Day – Night Lifestyle Transition

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Bees exemplify flights under bright sunlight. A few species across bee families have evolved nocturnality, displaying remarkable adaptations to overcome limitations of their daylight-suited apposition eyes.

Cognitive Symbionts. Expanding the Scope of Cognitive Science With Fungi

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract It has been argued that fungi have cognitive capacities, and even conscious experiences. While these arguments risk ushering in unproductive disputes about how words like “mind,” “cognitive,” “sentient,” and “conscious” should be used, paying close attention to key properties of fungal life can also be uncontroversially productive for ...

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

An Introduction to Rational Constructivism in Cognitive Development

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Rational constructivism is a contemporary theory of cognitive development. It proposes that children generate, tweak, and radically revise theories, beliefs, and representations by integrating evidence with existing knowledge via probabilistic inferential learning mechanisms.

Diet of Xylocopa grisescens Lepeletier (Hymenoptera, Apidae) in a Semiarid Area Cultivated with Passion Fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims)

Sociobiology
The loss and fragmentation of native vegetation harm pollinators and reduce crop productivity. The passion fruit crop is an excellent model for investigating this issue, as its pollinators are especially sensitive to deforestation.

Isometric training at longer muscle–tendon complex lengths: A potential countermeasure to impaired neuro‐muscle–tendon function during space travel

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Manned space exploration to distant destinations, including Mars, continues to be an aspiration of humankind. Space travel does, however, present many challenges to the body, amongst which adaptation to microgravity is perhaps the largest. For instance, both short and long manned spaceflight missions have shown substantial deleterious effects ...
