Brain size and behavioral specialization in the jataí stingless bee (Tetragonisca angustula)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Comparative Neurology"
DOI: 10.1002/cne.25333
Abstract: Social insects are instructive models for understanding the association between investment in brain size and behavioral variability because they show a relatively simple nervous system associated with a large set of complex behaviors. In the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13744-020-00766-x
Abstract: The decline in bee populations worldwide has been associated with the use of pesticides in crop systems where these insects forage. The use of biopesticides, like spinosad, is preferred as an alternative method to control… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.jafc.2c01732
Abstract: Trehalulose, a rare sucrose isomer, is a dominant sugar in stingless bee honey, with traces of the trisaccharide erlose. Incubating sucrose solutions with macerated stingless bee parts (head, thorax, and abdomen) from Tetragonula carbonaria, we… read more here.

Octopamine increases individual and collective foraging in a neotropical stingless bee
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Biology Letters"
DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2020.0238
Abstract: The biogenic amine octopamine (OA) is a key modulator of individual and social behaviours in honeybees, but its role in the other group of highly eusocial bees, the stingless bees, remains largely unknown. In honeybees,… read more here.
