Journal ArticleDOI
Caffeine in Floral Nectar Enhances a Pollinator's Memory of Reward
Geraldine A. Wright,Daniel D. Baker,Mary J. Palmer,Daniel Stabler,Julie A. Mustard,Eileen F. Power,Anne M. Borland,Philip C. Stevenson,Philip C. Stevenson +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that caffeine presented at naturalistic levels significantly improved the ability of bees to remember and locate a learned floral scent and potentiated the responses of neurons involved in olfactory learning and memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutritional balance of essential amino acids and carbohydrates of the adult worker honeybee depends on age.
Pier P. Paoli,Dion Donley,Daniel Stabler,Anumodh Saseendranath,Susan W. Nicolson,Stephen J. Simpson,Geraldine A. Wright +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that even when young bees are not nursing brood and foragers are not flying, their nutritional needs shift towards a diet largely composed of carbohydrates when they make the transition from within-hive duties to foraging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bumble bees regulate their intake of essential protein and lipid pollen macronutrients.
Anthony D. Vaudo,Daniel Stabler,Harland M. Patch,John F. Tooker,Christina M. Grozinger,Geraldine A. Wright +5 more
TL;DR: Bumble bees regulate their dietary intake of proteins and lipids among synthetic diets to nutritional targets ideal for survival, which could affect pollen foraging in the field and help explain patterns of host-plant species choice by bumble bees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrient balancing of the adult worker bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) depends on the dietary source of essential amino acids
TL;DR: The essential amino acid profile of the bumblebee diet influences regulation of the amount of both protein and carbohydrate consumed and the idea that EAAs and carbohydrates in haemolymph are important determinants of nutritional state in insects is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
A method for analysing small samples of floral pollen for free and protein-bound amino acids
Daniel Stabler,Eileen F. Power,Eileen F. Power,Anne M. Borland,Jeremy Barnes,Geraldine A. Wright +5 more
TL;DR: A method of microwave‐assisted acid hydrolysis using low amounts of pollen that allows exploration of amino acid composition, quantified using ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), and a back calculation to estimate the crude protein content of pollen is described.
