Altitude control in honeybees: joint vision-based learning and guidance
Scientific Reports, 2017 Studies on insects’ visual guidance systems have shed little light on how learning contributes to insects’ altitude control system. In this study, honeybees were trained to fly along a double-roofed tunnel after entering it near either the ceiling or the

Spatial and seasonal patterns of potential orchard pollinators across a Lake Ontario gradient
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Potential pollinator captures varied by season, trap height and distance from Lake Ontario, indicating that flower visitors were not evenly distributed during apple bloom. Several common bee genera, including Lasioglossum, Agapostemon, Andrena and Apis, overlapped more closely with apple bloom than the dominant retained fly genus, Toxomerus.

Safety of Venom Immunotherapy in Pregnancy: A Multicentre Study
Allergy, EarlyView.Venom immunotherapy (VIT) during pregnancy, when maintenance dose is well tolerated, can be continued. No increased risk of adverse effects to VIT or safety concerns for the pregnancy or the newborns were observed. No decreased efficacy of VIT, in case of re‐stings, was reported.

Pest‐preservation paradox among insects
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

Honeybee aging as an emergent property of a self-organizing dissipative system
Frontiers in Systems BiologyThe honeybee colony provides a remarkable example of aging plasticity emerging from collective biological organization. Through the reciprocal regulation of juvenile hormone (JH) and vitellogenin (Vg), honeybees demonstrate that aging is a dynamic and ...

BumbleBEEP: A Sensor System for Bumblebee Colony Monitoring
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We present a bumblebee colony monitoring system, BumbleBEEP. The system is fitted with thermometers and a custom weight sensor. These record data up to every 15 min, recording bumblebee brood nest temperature, environmental ambient temperature, and colony growth.

Geographic Classification of Social Bees Using Automated Wing Pattern Analysis
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We present an end‐to‐end deep learning framework for automated geographic classification of honey bee populations based on wing morphology. A dataset of 1040 wing images from seven regions was analyzed using four CNN architectures with transfer learning.
