Why bees are so vulnerable to environmental stressors

…, A Cabirol, JM Devaud, AB Barron, M Lihoreau - Trends in ecology & …, 2017 - cell.com
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

M Lihoreau, L Chittka, NE Raine - The American Naturalist, 2010 - journals.uchicago.edu
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

…, QP Wang, J Morimoto, AM Senior, M Lihoreau… - Current biology, 2017 - cell.com
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

M Lihoreau, NE Raine, AM Reynolds, RJ Stelzer… - 2012 - journals.plos.org
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

M Lihoreau, T Latty, L Chittka - Frontiers in physiology, 2012 - frontiersin.org
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

M Lihoreau, J Buhl, MA Charleston, GA Sword… - Ecology …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
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

M Lihoreau, L Chittka, NE Raine - Functional ecology, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
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

SJ Simpson, FJ Clissold, M Lihoreau… - Annual Review of …, 2015 - annualreviews.org
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

…, JM Devaud, AB Barron, M Lihoreau - Science of the Total …, 2021 - Elsevier
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 …
