In animals, metabolic rates during ontogeny often scale differently from the way they do in cross-species or population comparisons, with near-isometric scaling patterns more often observed during juvenile growth. In multiple social insect taxa, colony metabolic rate scales hypometrically across species or populations at the same developmental stag...
Division of labor, a key feature of many complex systems, requires a mechanism that allows individuals to choose tasks. The popular ‘response threshold hypothesis’ posits that some workers start engaging in particular tasks at a lower level of need than others. However, individuals may only have access to information about need after they actually...
Response threshold models are often used to test hypotheses about division of labor in social-insect colonies. Each worker's probability to engage in a task rapidly increases when a cue associated with task demand crosses some response threshold. Threshold variability across workers generates an emergent division of labor that is consistent over ti...
Interactions between environmental stressors may contribute to ongoing pollinator declines, but have not been extensively studied. Here, we examined the interaction between the agricultural fungicide Pristine (active ingredients: 25.2% boscalid, 12.8% pyraclostrobin) and high temperatures on critical honeybee behaviours. We have previously shown th...
Power analyses are useful tools for biologists to estimate the necessary sample size for an experiment. However, it is not always clear what type of power analysis should be used for a particular situation, as power will depend on a number of factors not usually included in traditional statistical software. Most packages can incorporate the usual s...
In social insects, division of labor is commonly thought to be driven by differences among workers in their sensitivity, or response thresholds, to task-related stimuli. Despite the wide use of this mechanism throughout social insect research, actual empirical evidence for these thresholds is comparatively scarce. Here, we attempt to fill this empi...
