Integrative Genomics Reveals the Genetics and Evolution of the Honey Bee’s Social Immune System [PDF]

, 2019
Social organisms combat pathogens through individual innate immune responses or through social immunity—behaviors among individuals that limit pathogen transmission within groups.

Sampling, Mobility, and Anchoring in Small‐Body Sampling Robots: A Comprehensive Review

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Small‐body sampling robots are exploration systems that perform contact, sampling, and stable operations on microgravity bodies such as asteroids and comets. The authors review representative robot architectures and key technologies, focusing on the mechanisms, evolution, and coupling of sampling, mobility, and anchoring.

Structure and composition of supported lipid bilayers: a comparison between solvent‐assisted lipid bilayer and vesicle fusion methods

Journal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
Neutron reflectometry is used to compare supported lipid bilayers formed by vesicle fusion and solvent‐assisted lipid bilayer (SALB) methods, revealing structurally comparable architectures with minor differences in acyl chain thickness and low residual solvent incorporation.

Honey bee foraging distance depends on month and forage type [PDF]

, 2015
To investigate the distances at which honey bee foragers collect nectar and pollen, we analysed 5,484 decoded waggle dances made to natural forage sites to determine monthly foraging distance for each forage type.

Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

Field Application of an Innovative Approach to Assess Honeybee Health and Nutritional Status

Animals
Environment, forage quality, management practices, pathogens, and pesticides influence honeybee responses to stressors. This study proposes an innovative approach to assess colony health and performance using molecular diagnostic tools by correlating ...

Data-driven honeybee antennal lobe model suggests how stimulus-onset asynchrony can aid odour segregation [PDF]

, 2013
Insects have a remarkable ability to identify and track odour sources in multi-odour backgrounds. Recent behavioural experiments show that this ability relies on detecting millisecond stimulus asynchronies between odourants that originate from different ...
