J Exp Biol (2022) 225 (17): jeb244716.
Published: 2 September 2022
...Sajesh Vijayan; Eric J. Warrant; Hema Somanathan ABSTRACT Giant honeybees, including the open-nesting Asian giant honeybee Apis dorsata , display a spectacular collective defence behaviour – known as ‘shimmering’ – against predators, which is characterised by travelling waves generated...

...-order neurons under various occlusion conditions. Furthermore, in four species of Myrmecia ants active at different times of the day, and in European honeybee Apis mellifera , we characterized the ocellar visual properties when both visual systems were available. Among the ants, we found that the time...

...Claire Rusch; Eatai Roth; Clément Vinauger; Jeffrey A. Riffell ABSTRACT Honeybees are well-known models for the study of visual learning and memory. Whereas most of our knowledge of learned responses comes from experiments using free-flying bees, a tethered preparation would allow fine-scale...

...Mariana Gil; Rodrigo J. De Marco SUMMARY In this study, we asked whether honeybees learn the sign and magnitude of variations in the level of reward. We designed an experiment in which bees first had to forage on a three-flower patch offering variable reward levels,and then search for food...

...Randolf Menzel; Karl Geiger; Lars Chittka; Jasdan Joerges; Jan Kunze; Uli Müller ABSTRACT Navigation in honeybees is discussed against the background of the types of memories employed in the navigational task. Two questions are addressed. Do bees have goal-specific expectations, and when are novel...

...Benjamin A. Underwood Summary Thoracic flight temperatures (T th ) of workers of three species of honeybees (genus Apis) in Nepal were measured at relatively low ambient temperatures (T a ). At T a = 18–24 °C, A. dorsata workers arriving at feeders to collect concentrated (⩾=40%) sugar syrup...

...Michael M. Walker; M. E. Bitterman ABSTRACT It has been demonstrated repeatedly ( Kirschvink & Kirschvink, 1989 ; Walker et al. 1989 ; Walker & Bitterman, 1985 , 1989 ) that free-flying honeybees can be trained to respond to local anomalies in the geomagnetic field, but none of the training...

...Michael M. Walker; M. E. Bitterman ABSTRACT Evidence that honeybees respond to magnetic fields comes from both orientation ( Lindauer & Martin, 1968 , 1972 ; Towne & Gould, 1985 ) and conditioning experiments ( Walker & Bitterman, 1985 ; Walker et al . 1988 a ). Perhaps because suitable...

... and durations increase towards infinite values. This breakpoint is not the same for cuculiinid winter moths and honeybees. Bees cannot use flight muscles at temperatures below 10°C, even for shivering. For cuculiinid winter moths this critical temperature lies near 0°C. The difference between –2°C ( Heinrich...
