Environmental Morphological Divergence and Its Integration With Collective Behavior in Cooperative Pseudoscorpions

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
In the social pseudoscorpion Paratemnoides nidificator, populations across contrasting urban and peri‐urban environments exhibit marked morphological divergence and consistent sexual dimorphism. Crucially, relative development of the prey‐capture pedipalp apparatus (rather than absolute body size) is positively integrated with proactive collective ...

Mapping wild bee diversity and flower use for an effective conservation of the Doñana biodiversity hotspot

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We compiled the first checklist of wild bees in Doñana Protected Area, documenting 385 species, including three vulnerable and one endangered species listed in the Red List. Bee species exhibit diverse floral preferences, highlighting the need to incorporate plant–pollinator interactions and the role of plants in conservation and management strategies ...

Caste‐Associated Social Context Modulates Behavioural Interactions With Insecticide‐Exposed Individuals in Nasutitermes corniger (Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae)

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Termites are eusocial insects that maintain cohesion and exchange information through frequent physical interactions among nestmates. This social organisation underlies the principle of horizontal insecticide transfer, which is widely exploited as a termite control strategy.

Somatotopic Organization of Sensory Inputs From Taste Appendages in the Subesophageal Zone and Brain of the Honey Bee Apis mellifera

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 11, November 2026.
Somatotopic organization of taste appendages in the primary gustatory center and brain of the honey bee. Schematic drawing from sagittal perspective showing appendages sensory‐motor projections patterns. ABSTRACT The study of gustatory pathways from the periphery to the brain offers valuable insights into the neural mechanisms underlying taste ...

Známky vzniku a evoluce Eusociality na genomické úrovni u blanokřídlých (Hymenoptera) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Eusociality has evolved independently many times in social Hymenoptera and some of them are now at the brink of eusociality. Eusociality is a complicated set of genomic, ecological and behavioural traits closely interacting with each other.

Network Indices and Diversity Follow Distinct Patterns for Bee–Plant Networks Along a Neotropical Elevational Gradient

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
Ecological studies of how interactions, communities, and species change along elevational gradients are still missing from some key organisms and ecosystems. We quantify bee–plant interactions and bee diversity patterns along a low elevation Neotropical mountain.

Evolution of Eusociality in Ants Hymenoptera: Formicidae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Eusociality can be seen in a variety of insect families, including the ants (Formicidae). There is no clear understanding on how it evolved but it is well understood that transitions between social phases must happen. Several theories and hypothesis have

Context‐dependent joint buffering of abiotic stress by parental care and sibling interactions

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 11, Page 3422-3434, November 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change represents one of the most complex challenges of the 21st century, increasing global temperatures and the occurrence of extreme events, such as heatwaves, cold snaps, floods or droughts.

The eusociality continuum [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Eusocial societies are traditionally characterized by a reproductive division of labor, an overlap of generations, and cooperative care of the breeders' young. Eusociality was once thought to occur only in termites, ants, and some bee and wasp species, but striking evolutionary convergences have recently become apparent between the societies of these ...

Signs of the Origin and Evolution of Eusociality in Hymenoptera on Genomic Level

open access: yes, 2018
Eusociality has evolved independently many times in social Hymenoptera and some of them are now at the brink of eusociality. Eusociality is a complicated set of genomic, ecological and behavioural traits closely interacting with each other.
