How stressors disrupt honey bee biological traits and overwintering mechanisms

open access: yesHeliyon
High winter mortality of honey bees (Apis mellifera) has been observed in temperate regions over the past 30 years. Several biotic and abiotic stressors associated with winter colony losses have been identified, but the mechanisms and interactions ...

Colony and individual life-history responses to temperature in a social insect pollinator [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Climatic, social and reproductive influences on behavioural thermoregulation in a female-dominated lemur [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Behaviour, 2017
It is well established that social rank in a large group confers a higher adaptive value to a dominant individual relative to others, although there is scant evidence that members of small social groups either have similar social standing or maintain strict dominance.

How the zebra got its stripes: a problem with too many solutions [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2015
The adaptive significance of zebra stripes has thus far eluded understanding. Many explanations have been suggested, including social cohesion, thermoregulation, predation evasion and avoidance of biting flies.

PLASTICITY OF COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOUR IN A NOMADIC EARLY SPRING FOLIVORE

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2013
Collective behaviour in the forest tent caterpillar (Malacosoma disstria) meets the thermal constraints of being an early spring folivore, but introduces others constraints in food choice.

Paraventricular hypothalamic vasopressin neurons induce self-grooming in mice

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2022
Self-grooming plays an essential role in hygiene maintenance, thermoregulation, and stress response. However, the neural populations involved in self-grooming remain largely unknown.

A Systematic Review of Thermosensation and Thermoregulation in Anxiety Disorders

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
Objectives: Sweating, hot flushes, and blushing are symptoms frequently reported by individuals with anxiety disorders. They represent important reinforcers of anxiogenic cognitions and behaviours.

The effectiveness of orally applied L-menthol on exercise performance in the heat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
During exercise in the heat, increasing thermal load leads to thermo-behavioural adjustments in exercise performance, due to greater perceptual and physiological strain.

Survival of hibernating little brown bats that are unaffected by white-nose syndrome: Using thermal cameras to understand arousal behavior.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
White-nose syndrome is a fungal disease that has decimated hibernating bats from multiple North American species. In 2014, the invasive fungus arrived at a hibernaculum of little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) inside the spillway of Tippy Dam, located ...
