Laboratory acute contact toxicity test with the leafcutter bee Megachile rotundata
Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2020 So far little is known about the toxicity of Plant Protection Products (PPPs) to solitary bees other than Osmia spp. as well as the inter- and intra-species sensitivity differences of honey bees and solitary bees.

The genetic basis of a social polymorphism in halictid bees [PDF]
, 2018 The emergence of eusociality represents a major evolutionary transition from solitary to group reproduction. The most commonly studied eusocial species, honey bees and ants, represent the behavioral extremes of social evolution but lack close relatives ...

Behavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This is a retrospective case study of an antisemitic lone actor terrorist who completed the deadliest attack against the Jewish community in American history. The analysis through the lens of the Terrorist Radicalization Assessment Protocol (TRAP‐18) finds that 72% of the warning indicators were present, including four proximal warning ...

Heterogeneous Single/Dual‐Atom Electrocatalysts in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.This review summarizes recent advances in single‐atom and dual‐atom electrocatalysts for high‐performance lithium–sulfur batteries. The text systematically covers the classification of catalysts by active metal centers, key synthesis methods, in situ characterization for mechanistic insights, and electrocatalytic mechanisms.

PLoS ONE, 2019 Differences in the timing of exoskeleton melanization and sclerotization are evident when comparing eusocial and solitary bees. This cuticular maturation heterochrony may be associated with life style, considering that eusocial bees remain protected ...

Larval exposure to field-realistic concentrations of clothianidin has no effect on development rate, over-winter survival or adult metabolic rate in a solitary bee, Osmia bicornis [PDF]
, 2017 There is widespread concern regarding the effects of agro-chemical exposure on bee health, of which neonicotinoids, systemic insecticides detected in the pollen and nectar of both crops and wildflowers, have been the most strongly debated.

Familiarity and aggression shape long‐term associations and mortality risk in a solitary ungulate
Oikos, EarlyView.Periodic social interactions are important to animal fitness, even in solitary species. For solitary species, these interactions can be unexpected and shaped by previous encounters. Despite being aggressive and largely solitary, black rhinoceroses Diceros bicornis are commonly seen in groups, suggesting they may engage in more social behaviours than ...
