Phenotypic plasticity, the ability to produce multiple phenotypes from a single genotype,
represents an excellent model with which to examine the relationship between gene …

The sequencing of the honeybee genome in 2006 was an important technological and
logistic achievement experience. But what benefits have flown from the honeybee genome …

Background The function of DNA methyltransferase genes of insects is a puzzle, because an
association between gene expression and methylation is not universal for insects. If the …

Hornets are the largest of the social wasps, and are important regulators of insect
populations in their native ranges. Hornets are also very successful as invasive species, with …

Insects have evolved remarkably complex social systems. Social wasps are particularly
noteworthy because they display gradations in social behaviors. Here, we sequence the …

Whether deep neural networks can exhibit emergent behaviour is not only relevant for
understanding how deep learning works, it is also pivotal for estimating potential security …

Understanding how fluctuations propagate across spatial scales is central to our
understanding of inanimate matter from turbulence to critical phenomena. In contrast to …

Hornets are the largest of the social wasps, and are important regulators of insect
populations in their native ranges. Hornets are also very successful as invasive species, with …

Insects are really astonishing creatures if their learning and adaptation capabilities are
considered. In this paper two specific characteristics of their tiny brain are taken into account …

Social insects are ecologically dominant predators, pollinators, herbivores and detritivores
across many terrestrial ecosystems. Key to the ecological success of these species is a …
