The study of trail laying, recruitment of workers and trail‐following by worker ants comprises
a co‐operative study of entomologists and chemists that has resulted in the identification of …

Bumble bees are of major importance, ecologically and economically as pollinators in cool
and temperate biomes and as model organisms for scientific research. Chemical signals …

Stingless bees (Meliponini) are the largest and most diverse group of social bees, yet their
largely tropical distribution means that they are less studied than their relatives, the bumble …

Abstract Stingless bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae: Meliponini) represent a highly diverse group
of social bees confined to the world's tropics and subtropics. They show a striking diversity of …

Since the seminal work of Lindauer and Kerr (1958), many stingless bees have been known
to effectively recruit nestmates to food sources. Recent research clarified properties of …

Omnipresent in virtually all terrestrial ecosystems and of undisputed ecological and
economical importance, the study of social insects is an area that continues to attract a vast …

Apart from their obvious locomotory function and hence the presence of muscle fibres, ant
legs are also endowed with an astonishing variety of exocrine glands. This paper reviews …

Chemicals used in communication are divided into signals and cues. Signals are moulded
by natural selection to carry specific meanings in specific contexts. Cues, on the other hand …

Chemical compounds play a key role in the communication systems of many living
organisms. Information-carrying molecules, known as semiochemicals, have been classified …
