Social flexibility in a primitively social allodapine bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae): results of a translocation experiment

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that translocation of bee populations produces variations in brood development, which in turn can result in variations in social behavior. Further research is needed, however, to control for the level of influence of environmental differences in translocation habitats.

The joint effect of temperature and host species induce complex genotype-by-environment interactions in the larval parasitoid of Drosophila, Leptopilina heterotoma (Hymenoptera: Figitidae)

Article Abstract:

The question of the interaction between two environmental factors in the case of koinobiont parasitoid of Drosophila, Leptopilina heterotoma is addressed. It has been indicated that both environmental factors strongly interact to shape the parasitoid phenotype.

Wing morph-related differences in the walking pattern and dispersal in a flightless bug, Pyrrhocoris apterus (Heteroptera)

Article Abstract:

The hypothesis that adult flightless macropterous and brachypterous morphs of Heteroptera differ in their dispersal ability and walking path characteristics was tested. Results indicated that the flightless macropters maintain higher dispersal ability.
