The queen is dead-long live the workers: intraspecific parasitism by workers in the stingless bee Melipona scutellaris
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2009)
Insect societies are well known for their high degree of cooperation, but their colonies can potentially be exploited by reproductive workers who lay unfertilized, male eggs, rather than work for the good of the colony. ...
Do Atta sexdens rubropilosa workers prepare leaves and bait pellets in similar ways to their symbiotic fungus?
(Univ Estadual Feira Santana, 2015-12-01)
Leaf-cutting ants rely on the obligate symbiosis with a fungus, Leucoagaricus gongylophorus, on which they feed. This fungus garden is maintained preferentially with green leaves in combination with other tissues of plant ...

Flexible foraging decisions made by workers of the social wasp Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) in response to different resources: influence of ontogenetic shifts and colony feedback
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2022-07)
Decisions made by foraging animals conform a complex process based on the integration of information from multiple external environmental stimuli and internal physiological signals, which in turn are modulated by individual ...

Differentiation of the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) antennal lobes during metamorphosis: a comparative study among castes and sexes
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2011-01-01)
In insects the antennal lobes (AL) constitute the brain deutocerebrum. In bees they consist of two neuropil regions, each associated with one antenna, delimited by a layer of glial cells and somata of neurons. The neuropil ...

Local dynamics of worker activity of the invasive Vespula germanica and V. vulgaris (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) wasps in Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-11)
1. The abundance of insects depends essentially on the reproductive success of individuals. In social insects, however, the abundance of sterile workers outside a nest depends on colony size but is also determined by ...
