Work-related fatigue: A hazard for workers experiencing disproportionate occupational risks.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "American journal of industrial medicine"
DOI: 10.1002/ajim.23325
Abstract: BACKGROUND Long working hours and fatigue are significant occupational safety and health (OSH) hazards for working populations who experience disproportionate risks of injury and illness. These groups include young or new workers, aging workers, contingent… read more here.

Worker and employer experiences with COVID‐19 and the California Workers' Compensation System: A review of the literature
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "American Journal of Industrial Medicine"
DOI: 10.1002/ajim.23326
Abstract: Abstract Background Given workplace risks from COVID‐19, California policymakers passed Senate Bill (SB) 1159 to facilitate access to workers' compensation (WC) benefits for frontline workers. However there has been no review of the available evidence… read more here.

The evolution of queen control over worker reproduction in the social Hymenoptera
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3324
Abstract: Abstract A trademark of eusocial insect species is reproductive division of labor, in which workers forego their own reproduction while the queen produces almost all offspring. The presence of the queen is key for maintaining… read more here.

Sexual dimorphism as a facilitator of worker caste evolution in ants
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9825
Abstract: Abstract Ant societies are primarily composed of females, whereby labor is divided into reproductive, or queen, and non‐reproductive, or worker, castes. Workers and reproductive queens can differ greatly in behavior, longevity, physiology, and morphology, but… read more here.

Task bundling in worker‐centric mobile crowdsensing

DOI: 10.1002/int.22497
Abstract: Most existing research about task allocation in mobile crowdsensing mainly focus on requester‐centric mobile crowdsensing (RCMCS), where the requester assigns tasks to workers to maximize his/her benefits. A worker in RCMCS might suffer benefit damage… read more here.

Role of foraging gene in worker behavioral transition in the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).

DOI: 10.1002/ps.6921
Abstract: BACKGROUND Worker division of labor is particularly predominant in social insects. The foraging (for) gene, which encodes cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG), has been implicated in the regualtion of behavioral transitions in honeybees, but information regarding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-45399-6_2
Abstract: One of the more slippery signifiers in cultural and political theory is the “worker.” Entire histories, epistemologies, political platforms, economies, and indeed states have been formed around the worker, and it is no exaggeration to… read more here.

Decreasing worker size diversity does not affect colony performance during laboratory challenges in the ant Temnothorax nylanderi
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology"
DOI: 10.1007/s00265-017-2322-4
Abstract: Within-colony phenotypic diversity can play an essential role in some eusocial insect taxa by increasing the performance of division of labor, thereby increasing colony fitness. Empirical studies of the effect of phenotypic diversity on colony… read more here.

Sociodemographic variation in foraging behavior and the adaptive significance of worker production in the facultatively social small carpenter bee, Ceratina calcarata

DOI: 10.1007/s00265-017-2365-6
Abstract: Provisioning for young offspring is an archetypical form of parental investment. Ceratina calcarata bees provide extended maternal care to their young and demonstrate an unusual strategy of dual-phase pollen provisioning. Most bees first gather provisions… read more here.

Manipulation of worker size diversity does not affect colony fitness under natural conditions in the ant Temnothorax nylanderi

DOI: 10.1007/s00265-020-02885-2
Abstract: In social insects, within-colony worker diversity has long been thought to improve colony fitness. Recent studies start to question this assertion in species with moderate diversity. However, demonstrating an absence of effect is difficult as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10115-020-01475-y
Abstract: Crowdsourcing services provide an efficient and relatively inexpensive approach to obtain substantial amounts of labeled data by employing crowd workers. It is obvious that the labeling qualities of crowd workers directly affect the quality of… read more here.
