Honey bee behaviours within the hive: Insights from long-term video analysis.
PLoS ONE, 2021 The combined behaviours of individuals within insect societies determine the survival and development of the colony. For the western honey bee (Apis mellifera), individual behaviours include nest building, foraging, storing and ripening food, nursing the

Dermatological procedures in the treatment of hyperhidrosis
Przegląd Dermatologiczny, 2023 Hyperhidrosis is a state of excessive sweating beyond the quantity necessary to maintain thermoregulation. It can significantly reduce the patient’s quality of life as well as social and professional contacts.

Combined nutritional stress and a new systemic pesticide (flupyradifurone, Sivanto®) reduce bee survival, food consumption, flight success, and thermoregulation. [PDF]
, 2019 Flupyradifurone (FPF, Sivanto®) is a new butenolide insecticide that, like the neonicotinoids, is a systemic nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist.

Aerobic power, huddling and the efficiency of torpor in the South American marsupial, Dromiciops gliroides. [PDF]
, 2012 During periods of cold, small endotherms depend on a continuous supply of food and energy to maintain euthermic body temperature (T(b)), which can be challenging if food is limited. In these conditions, energy-saving strategies are critical to reduce the

Passively Adaptive Radiative Switch for Thermoregulation in Buildings [PDF]
, 2023 With the ever-growing need to reduce energy consumption, building materials that passively heat or cool are gaining importance. However, many buildings require both heating and cooling, even within the same day. To date, few technologies can automatically switch between passive heating and cooling, and those that can require a large temperature range ...

Orientation to the sun by animals and its interaction with crypsis [PDF]
, 2015 1. Orientation with respect to the sun has been observed in a wide range of species and hasgenerally been interpreted in terms of thermoregulation and/or ultraviolet (UV) protection. For countershaded animals, orientation with respect to the sun may also

Colony and individual life-history responses to temperature in a social insect pollinator [PDF]
, 2015 Pollinating insects are of major ecological and commercial importance, yet they may be facing ecological disruption from a changing climate. Despite this threat, few studies have investigated the life-history responses of pollinators to experimentally ...

Hierarchical Model with Allee Effect, Immigration, and Holling Type II Functional Response [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In this paper, we discuss a hierarchical model, based on a Ricker competition model. The species considered are competing for resources and may be subject to an Allee effect due to mate limitation, anti-predator vigilance or aggression, cooperative predation or resource defense, or social thermoregulation.
