Robustness of the honeybee neuro-muscular octopaminergic system in the face of cold stress
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 In recent decades, our planet has undergone dramatic environmental changes resulting in the loss of numerous species. This contrasts with species that can adapt quickly to rapidly changing ambient conditions, which require physiological plasticity and ...

Multidirectional Motion Strategy of Miniature Water Surface Robot Actuated by Single Exciter
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A novel multidirectional motion strategy on the water surface based on a single exciter is proposed, and a single‐exciter single‐plate module is developed for actuation. The driving forces generation mechanism of the module is revealed from the perspective of the asymmetric surface wave field.

Economics of alternative insecticide treatments and pollinators in Winter canola
Cogent Food & Agriculture, 2023 In the US central and southern Great Plains, canola (Brassica napus) is a winter annual crop. It is pollinated by insects, particularly native bees and introduced honeybees (Apis mellifera Linnaeus, 1758). Canola is beset by many insect pests.

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.

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.

Examining Honeybee (Apis mellifera) Dominance Patterns Within Urban Bee Communities Worldwide
Ecology and EvolutionUrban ecosystems can host diverse bee communities. However, the increasing prevalence of urban honeybees (Apis mellifera Linnaeus 1758) raises concerns about their ecological impact. Using a systematic review of published studies, we obtained 68 datasets

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.
