Insect societies are tightly integrated, complex biological systems in which group-level properties arise from the interactions between individuals. However, these interactions have not been studied systematically and therefore remain incompletely known. Using a social isolation approach, we discove...

Social insects frequently engage in oral fluid exchange – trophallaxis – between adults, and between adults and larvae. Although trophallaxis is normally considered a simple food-sharing mechanism, we hypothesized that endogenous components of this fluid might underlie a novel means of chemical comm...

Effects of behavioral maturation, diet quality and Queen Mandibular Pheromone on gene expression in the abdominal fat bodies of worker honey bees.
ORGANISM(S): Apis mellifera 
Group-living individuals experience immense risk of disease transmission and parasite infection. In social and in some non-social insects, disease control with immunomodulation arises not only via individual immune defenses, but also via infochemicals such as contact cues and (defensive) volatiles t...

Specialisation and plasticity in a primitive social insect
BACKGROUND: Social insects, such as honey bees, use molecular, physiological and behavioral responses to combat pathogens and parasites. The honey bee genome contains all of the canonical insect immune response pathways, and several studies have demonstrated that pathogens can activate expression o...

Biological systems not only have the remarkable capacity to build and maintain complex spatio-temporal structures in noisy environments, they can also rapidly break up and rebuild such structures. How such systems can simultaneously achieve both robust specialisation and plasticity is poorly underst...
