DOI: 10.1007/s11356-018-3205-6
Abstract: In this study, honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) were exposed to LD05 and LD50 doses of five commonly used acaricides for controlling the parasitic mite, Varroa destructor. LD50 values at 48 h post-treatment showed that tau-fluvalinate… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Reward downshifts in honey bees, Apis mellifera, result in a suppression of behavior that parallels mammalian frustration in response to reward downshift. Consistent with Weber’s Law, rats drinking sucrose that are trained with a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.nlm.2020.107363
Abstract: Stress is defined as any deviation from an organism's baseline physiological levels. Therefore, introduction of new stimuli and information, such as in learning, can be defined as a stressor. A large body of research exists… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2018.00161
Abstract: The ‘extended phenotype’ expands on the phenotype concept to encompass all effects of a gene, including those that a gene may have on an organism’s surrounding environment. Honey bees (Apis mellifera) can be considered a… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2019.00079
Abstract: Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are agriculturally important pollinators that have been recently at risk to severe colony losses. A variety of parasites and pathogens have been linked to colony decline, including the microsporidian parasite Nosema… read more here.
