Chemosensory reception in the stingless bee Tetragonisca angustula
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-08)
In stingless bees, unlike honey bees, the relationship between chemosensory abilities and colony labor division has been poorly studied. Here we examined odor reception and gustatory responsiveness of the stingless bee ...
Assessment of appetitive behavior in honey bee dance followers
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-04)
Honey bees transfer different informational components of the discovered feeding source to their nestmates during the waggle dance. To decode the multicomponent information of this complex behavior, dance followers have ...
Olfactory learning in the stingless bee Tetragonisca angustula (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini)
(Springer, 2010-07)
Tetragonisca angustula stingless bees are considered as solitary foragers that lack speciWc communication strategies. In their orientation towards a food source, these social bees use chemical cues left by co-speciWcs and ...
In Situ Metabolomics of the Honeybee Brain: The Metabolism of l -Arginine through the Polyamine Pathway in the Proboscis Extension Response (PER)
(2020-02-07)
The proboscis extension response (PER) reflex may be used to condition the pairing of an odor with sucrose, which is applied to the antennae, in experiments to induce learning, where the odor represents a conditioned ...
Redefining Single-Trial Memories in the Honeybee
(Elsevier, 2020-02)
Research on honeybee memory has led to a widely accepted model in which a single pairing of an odor stimulus with sucrose induces memories that are independent of protein synthesis but is unable to form protein-synthesis-dependent ...
Honeybees generalize among pollen scents from plants flowering in the same seasonal period
(The Company of Biologists, 2019-11)
When honey bees (Apis mellifera) feed on flowers, they extend their proboscis to absorb the nectar, i.e. they perform the proboscis extension response (PER). The presence of pollen and/or nectar can be associated with ...
Honeybee cognitive ecology in a fluctuating agricultural setting of apple and pear trees
(Oxford University Press, 2013-06)
Honeybees’ plasticity to adjust responses according to environmental changes has been extensively studied in the laboratory but seldom along temporal variation in natural resources. Apple (Malus domesticus) and pear (Pyrus ...
Efeitos de diferentes agrotóxicos na sobrevivência e comportamento de Scaptotrigona aff. xanthotricha (Apidae, Meliponini)Effects of different pesticides on the survival and behavior of Scaptotrigona aff. xanthotricha (Apidae, Meliponini)

Learned olfactory cues affect pollen-foraging preferences in honeybees, Apis mellifera
(Elsevier, 2012-02)
Honeybees, Apis mellifera, show learned odour preferences for flowers that provide nectar as a reward. However, little is known about such behavioural plasticity when bees exploit pollen sources. Furthermore, the question ...
