When task sharing reduces interference: evidence for division-of-labour in Stroop-like tasks
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Psychological Research"
DOI: 10.1007/s00426-018-1044-1
Abstract: Performing a task with another person may either enhance or reduce the interference produced by task-irrelevant information. In three experiments, we employed the joint version of a Stroop-like task (i.e., the picture–word interference—PWI—task) to investigate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10164-021-00695-1
Abstract: Pseudomyrmex concolor is an Amazonian ant that works as an induced biotic defence of its host plant. Nevertheless, there is no information about the division of labour in P. concolor and how it impacts its… read more here.

Trematodes with a reproductive division of labour: heterophyids also have a soldier caste and early infections reveal how colonies become structured.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpara.2016.10.003
Abstract: Recent findings have extended the documentation of complex sociality to the Platyhelminthes, describing the existence of a reproductive division of labour involving a soldier caste among the parthenitae of trematode parasites. However, all species examined… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jinsphys.2019.103907
Abstract: Task specialization in social insects leads to striking intra-specific differences in behaviour, morphology, physiology and longevity, but the underlying mechanisms remain not yet fully understood. Adult colonies of black garden ants (Lasius niger) have a… read more here.

Collapse of genetic division of labour and evolution of autonomy in pellicle biofilms

DOI: 10.1038/s41564-018-0263-y
Abstract: Closely related microorganisms often cooperate, but the prevalence and stability of cooperation between different genotypes remain debatable. Here, we track the evolution of pellicle biofilms formed through genetic division of labour and ask whether partially… read more here.

“Fitness benefits and emergent division of labor at the onset of group-living”
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Nature"
DOI: 10.1038/s41586-018-0422-6
Abstract: The initial fitness benefits of group living are considered to be the greatest hurdle to the evolution of sociality1, and evolutionary theory predicts that these benefits need to arise at very small group sizes2. Such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/10439463.2017.1342645
Abstract: ABSTRACT This article describes the police intelligence division-of-labour. It is argued that police organisation gains overall coherence in relation to the ‘police métier’; a rationale that allows protagonists in the police world to make sense… read more here.

A division of labour? Labour market segmentation by region of origin: the case of intra-EU migrants in the UK, Germany and Denmark

DOI: 10.1080/1369183x.2018.1518709
Abstract: ABSTRACT The 2004/2007 EU enlargements rendered CEE citizens legally equal to EU labour market participants. However, CEE migrants still face ‘racialisation’ and segmentation in North-Western European labour markets. Similar processes might extend to EU-South migrants,… read more here.

Intra-household gender division of labour and decision-making on rice postharvest handling practices: A case of Eastern Uganda

DOI: 10.1080/23311886.2017.1296323
Abstract: Abstract Gains in increasing productivity of grain in Sub-Saharan Africa are greatly undermined by the high postharvest losses (PHLs), which compromise the food and income security of households. Rice is one such important food and… read more here.

Abstract: Evolution of cooperation is a puzzle in evolutionary biology and social sciences. Previous studies assumed that players are equal and have symmetric relationships. In our society, players are in different roles, have an asymmetric relationship,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.12873
Abstract: Colonial organisms with division of labour are assumed to achieve increased colony-level efficiency in task performance through functional specialisation of individuals into distinct castes. In social insects, ratios of individuals in different castes can adjust… read more here.
