Understanding the Hygienic Behavioral Dynamics of Ants Using Multi‐State Models

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 361-370, April 2026.
Leaf‐cutting ants adjust grooming to pathogen risk and vulnerable nestmates. Multi‐state Markov models reveal shorter, frequent self‐grooming bouts and reduced allogrooming persistence under stress, optimizing social immunity via stigmergic decision‐making.

Detecting a Small Hive Beetle's eDNA in Honeybee Colonies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 277-284, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Early detection is important to limit the spread of invasive species. Molecular diagnosis using eDNA can be useful in this regard, but the sensitivity is often unknown. This holds true for small hive beetles (SHB), which are parasites of honeybee (HB) colonies and continue to spread globally.

Evaluating Electric Harps and Muzzles to Mitigate the Impact of Vespa velutina nigrithorax at Beehives

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 364-375, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The Asian hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) poses a significant threat to the beekeeping industry. Using an experimental apiary of 36 hives, we simultaneously evaluated the effectiveness of two mitigation measures—muzzles and electric harps—in reducing the impact of Asian hornets on honey bee colonies.
