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 ...

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.

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.

Examining Honeybee (Apis mellifera) Dominance Patterns Within Urban Bee Communities Worldwide

Ecology and Evolution
Urban 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
