Food transmission within the honeybee community

, 1952
Six bees were trained to a dish, from which they collected 20 ml. of sugar-syrup containing radioactive phosphorus. The distribution of radioactivity among the bees and larvae of their colony of 24 500 bees was then studied.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...
