Müllerian mimicry among bees and wasps: a review of current knowledge and future avenues of research
ABSTRACT Many bees and stinging wasps, or aculeates, exhibit striking colour patterns or conspicuous coloration, such as black and yellow stripes. Such coloration is often interpreted as an aposematic signal advertising aculeate defences: the venomous sting.

Reproductive aspects and pollination biology in endoparasitic Pilostyles thurberi (Apodanthaceae)
We studied pollination and reproductive strategies of the endoparasitic plant Pilostyles thurberi. The reproductive strategy, floral rewards, pollination system, and variation of their sexual flower arrangement were recorded. This endoparasite presents differences in reproductive success between different sites. Abstract Biotic pollination is typically

Gene dynamics of haplodiploidy favor eusociality in the Hymenoptera
Abstract The problem of whether haplodiploidy is responsible for the frequent evolution of eusociality in the Hymenoptera remains unresolved. The little‐known “protected invasion hypothesis” posits that because a male will transmit a new allele for alloparental care to all his daughters under haplodiploidy, such an allele has a higher probability of ...

The ant abdomen is critically understudied, despite its functional, evolutionary, and systematic importance. Using physical dissection, scanning electron microscope, histology, and microcomputed tomography, we provide the first complete treatment of the skeletomusculature, exocrine glands, and other major organs of the abdomen.
