Native ants learn how to deal with cues of invasive species: responses to footprints of invasive ants are shaped by experience

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Invasive ants threaten biodiversity worldwide. They may benefit from being novel if native species fail to show appropriate responses to their cues. Cues include chemical footprints (or ‘home‐range markings' in ants) left by all walking insects, which resemble cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs).

Nectar concentrations of biogenic amines affect bumble bee behavior in a dose‐dependent manner

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
While foraging, pollinators encounter a wide array of molecules, some of which may influence their internal states and behaviors. Among these, biogenic amines – nitrogenous compounds that serve as essential neuromodulators in animals – have only recently been detected in floral nectar.

Therapeutic Properties of Stingless Bee Honey in Comparison with European Bee Honey

open access: yesAdvances in Pharmacological Sciences, 2018
Both honeybees (Apis spp.) and stingless bees (Trigona spp.) produce honeys with high nutritional and therapeutics value. Until recently, the information regarding potential health benefits of stingless bee honey (SBH) in medical databases is still scarce as compared to the common European bee honey (EBH) which is well known for their properties as ...
