Stingless Bees: An Overview

TL;DR: One bee group that frequently calls an observer's attention are the stingless bees or Meliponini as mentioned in this paper, which can be smaller than a fruit fly or as large as the giant honey bee Apis dorsata.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative Antennal Morphometry and Sensilla Organization in the Reproductive and Non-Reproductive Castes of the Formosan Subterranean Termite.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed antennal morphometry and characterized the organization of sensilla in reproductive (female and male alates) and non-reproductive (worker and soldier) castes in the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki.
Book ChapterDOI

Enemies, Dangers and Colony Defence

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that predation was rarely a cause for colony death in a Malaysian habitat, while in a Costa Rican habitat, approximately 40% of all colony mortality was caused by predation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The neuroecology of olfaction in bees.

TL;DR: The focus of bee neuroscience has for a long time been on only a handful of social honeybee and bumblebee species, out of thousands of bees species that have been described as mentioned in this paper .
Journal ArticleDOI

Antennal Sensilla in Vespidae: A Comparison Between a Diurnal and a Nocturnal Polistinae Wasp

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors compared the types and quantities of antennal sensilla with a scanning electron microscope between the nocturnal Apoica flavissima and the diurnal Polistes simillimus wasps.

Evolution of insect olfaction.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the application of neuroethological principles in the study of insect olfaction and discusses how ecological environment and other selective pressures influence the development of insect Olfactory neurobiology, not only informing the authors' understanding of olfactory evolution but also providing broader insights into sensory processing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ant Nestmate and Non-Nestmate Discrimination by a Chemosensory Sensillum

TL;DR: A sensory sensillum on the antennae of the carpenter ant Camponotus japonicus that functions in nestmate discrimination is described, suggesting a role for a peripheral recognition mechanism in detecting colony-specific chemical signals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Odor detection in insects: volatile codes.

TL;DR: A more integrated research approach is promoted that links molecular physiology of receptor neurons to the ecology of odorants and encourages integrated research into microbial processes and plant secondary metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aging and development in social insects with emphasis on the honey bee, Apis mellifera L

TL;DR: For example, the developmental trajectory of a female larva from worker into a queen can be determined as late as the third day of larval development, after this time the developmental pathway is fixed for a worker phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atlas of olfactory organs of Drosophila melanogaster - 1. Types, external organization, innervation and distribution of olfactory sensilla

TL;DR: In this paper, the third antennal segment (funiculus) and the maxillary palp are studied in order to obtain as complete an evaluation as possible of the sensillar complement on these appendages.
