Metabarcoding of larval guts reveals diet diversity in native apex predators-the yellowjacket wasps Vespula vulgaris and Vespula germanica [0.03%]
larvae肠道宏条形码揭示了两种本土顶级捕食者-大黄蜂Vespula vulgaris和Vespula germanica的饮食多样性

Aculeate wasps are apex predators and play an important role in regulating arthropod populations. Determining what they hunt and how their diet varies with species ecology, geography and demography is essential to value their contributions ...
Respiratory metabolism and energetics of Polistes paper wasp larvae and pupae from differing climates [0.03%]

In ectotherms metabolic rate usually increases disproportionately with ambient temperature within the viable thermal range. This leads to an expectation of a physiological adaptation which balances the benefits and costs of the environmenta...
The gut microbiome differs between hygiene-performing and non-hygiene-performing worker honey bees [0.03%]
劳作蜂和不劳作的蜜蜂肠道菌群不同

Y H Tola et al.
Gut microbiomes play a significant role in the health, development, and behavior of numerous species, including honey bees (Apis mellifera). Worker honey bees exhibit varying degrees of hygienic behavior, which involves the removal of unhea...

In species where both sexes care for offspring, one parent-generally the female-typically provides more care than the other. While current theory offers broad predictions on the evolution of sex differences in parental care, it remains uncl...
Colony life history of the tropical arboreal ant, Cephalotes goniodontus De Andrade, 1999 [0.03%]

Arboreal ants are ecologically important in tropical forests, but there are few studies using DNA markers to examine their population and colony structure. Colonies of the arboreal turtle ant Cephalotes goniodontus create trail networks thr...
Evidence of queen-rearing suppression by mature queens in the little fire ant, Wasmannia auropunctata [0.03%]

The little fire ant (LFA), Wasmannia auropunctata, is a serious invasive pest first reported on Hawaii Island in 1999, and has since spread and established itself across the island. LFA is considered one of the worst 100 invasive species an...
Innate visual attraction in wood ants is a hardwired behavior seen across different motivational and ecological contexts [0.03%]
innate visual attraction in wood ants is a hard-wired behavior observed in various motivational and ecological contexts

Ants are expert navigators combining innate and learnt navigational strategies. Whereas we know that the ants' feeding state segregates visual-navigational memories in ants navigating along a learnt route, it is an open question if the moti...

Bumblebees (Bombus) are charismatic and important pollinators. They are one of the best studied insect groups, especially in terms of ecology, behavior, and social structure. As many species are declining, there is a clear need to understan...
The effects of a myrmecochore-produced chemical on entomopathogenic fungal growth and seed-dispersing ant survival rates and foraging patterns [0.03%]
一种植物化学物质对昆虫病原真菌生长、蚂蚁存活率及取食行为的影响研究
Chloe L Lash,Samantha L Sturiale,Samantha A Kisare et al.
Chloe L Lash et al.
Myrmecochory, a type of ant-mediated seed dispersal, is a diffuse, widespread mutualism in which both partners are purported to benefit from the services or rewards of the other. However, ant benefits in this interaction are conflicted and ...
Local Variation in Recombination Rates of the Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Genome among Samples from Six Disparate Populations [0.03%]
来源于六个不同群体的蜜蜂（Apis mellifera）基因组的重组率的局部变化

Meiotic recombination is an essential component of eukaryotic sexual reproduction but its frequency varies within and between genomes. Although it is well-established that honey bees have a high recombination rate with about 20 cM/Mbp, the ...
