Queen discrimination by honeybee (Apis mellifera L) workers [PDF]

, 1990
A simple new technique for testing worker honeybees' ability to distinguish between honeybee queens is presented. Two queens were caged separately with groups of young sibling workers which were the daughters of another queen.

Feverish honeybees

Journal of Biosciences, 2000
The therapeutic benefits of fever have been recorded since the time of Hippocrates. At the turn of the 20th century, syphilis was a dreaded disease whose neuro-degenerative effects were terrible and many mental institutions were occupied with patients suffering from it; there was no effective treatment available then.

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Towards a systems approach for understanding honeybee decline: a stocktaking and synthesis of existing models [PDF]

, 2013
1. The health of managed and wild honeybee colonies appears to have declined substantially in Europe and the United States over the last decade. Sustainability of honeybee colonies is important not only for honey production, but also for pollination of ...

Agxt2l-mediated glycerophospholipid metabolism in trophocytes explains Apis mellifera queen’s higher oviposition over A. cerana

Communications Biology
Apis mellifera and Apis cerana are two important honey bee species widely kept and studied. But their queens differ greatly in egg-laying capacity. To determine the mechanisms of this difference, we compare gene expression, chromatin accessibility and ...

Whole-Genome Resequencing−Based Qualitative Trait Locus Mapping Correlated yellow with the Mutant Color in Honeybees, Apis cerana cerana

Animals
The honeybee, Apis cerana cerana (Ac), is an important pollinator and has adapted to the local ecological environment with relevant coloration. The cuticle coloration of the brown (br) mutant is brown instead of black in wild−type individuals. Therefore,

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

A scoping review of digital health interventions for the detection and management of iron deficiency anaemia in Indian women of reproductive age from 2018 to 2025

Discover Public Health
Background In India, iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is still a major public health concern for women of reproductive age. AI-based and non-AI-based digital health interventions (DHIs) are being investigated as novel approaches to anaemia screening ...
