Why bees are so vulnerable to environmental stressors
Bee populations are declining in the industrialized world, raising concerns for the sustainable
pollination of crops. Pesticides, pollutants, parasites, diseases, and malnutrition have all …

Travel optimization by foraging bumblebees through readjustments of traplines after discovery of new feeding locations
Animals collecting resources that replenish over time often visit patches in predictable
sequences called traplines. Despite the widespread nature of this strategy, we still know little …

[PDF][PDF] Gut microbiota modifies olfactory-guided microbial preferences and foraging decisions in Drosophila
The gut microbiota affects a wide spectrum of host physiological traits, including development
[1–5], germline [6], immunity [7–9], nutrition [4, 10, 11], and longevity [12, 13]. Association …

[HTML][HTML] Radar tracking and motion-sensitive cameras on flowers reveal the development of pollinator multi-destination routes over large spatial scales
Central place foragers, such as pollinating bees, typically develop circuits (traplines) to visit
multiple foraging sites in a manner that minimizes overall travel distance. Despite being …

Collective foraging decision in a gregarious insect
M Lihoreau, JL Deneubourg, C Rivault - Behavioral Ecology and …, 2010 - Springer
Group foraging by eusocial insects implies sophisticated recruitment processes that often
result in collective decisions to exploit the most profitable sources. These advanced levels of …

[HTML][HTML] An exploration of the social brain hypothesis in insects
The “social brain hypothesis” posits that the cognitive demands of sociality have driven the
evolution of substantially enlarged brains in primates and some other mammals. Whether …

Nutritional ecology beyond the individual: a conceptual framework for integrating nutrition and social interactions
Over recent years, modelling approaches from nutritional ecology (known as Nutritional
Geometry) have been increasingly used to describe how animals and some other organisms …

Trade‐off between travel distance and prioritization of high‐reward sites in traplining bumblebees
Animals exploiting renewable resource patches are faced with complex multi‐location routing
problems. In many species, individuals visit foraging patches in predictable sequences …

Recent advances in the integrative nutrition of arthropods
In this review we highlight recent advances in four areas in which nutrition shapes the
relationships between organisms: between plants and herbivores, between hosts and their …

[HTML][HTML] Current permissible levels of metal pollutants harm terrestrial invertebrates
The current decline of invertebrates worldwide is alarming. Several potential causes have
been proposed but metal pollutants, while being widespread in the air, soils and water, have …
