Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018 When counting-like abilities were first described in the honeybee in the mid-1990s, many scholars were sceptical, but such capacities have since been confirmed in a number of paradigms and also in other insect species. Counter to the intuitive notion that counting is a cognitively advanced ability, neural network analyses indicate that it can be ...

Climate change effect on the widely distributed Palearctic plant bug species (Insecta: Heteroptera: Miridae) [PDF]
PeerJInsects are poikilothermic organisms and temperature increase usually accelerates their development rates, population and distribution area growth. Therefore, it is assumed that global warming can be beneficial for the pests and other widespread species ...
