Description of an ancient social bee trapped in amber using diagnostic radioentomology
The application of non-invasive imaging technologies using X-radiation (diagnostic radioentomology, ‘DR’) is demonstrated for the study of amber-entombed social bees. Here, we examine the external and internal morphology of an...

Catalyst activation by loss of cyclopentadienyl ligands in hydrogen transfer catalysis with Cp*IrIII complexes
The activity of the two related complexes [Cp*Ir(IMe) 2X]BF4 (X = Cl (1), H (2)) in transfer hydrogenation from isopropyl alcohol to acetophenone was investigated. The results suggest that the commonly accepted monohydride...

Imaging live bee brains using minimally-invasive diagnostic radioentomology
Sensitivity of the honey bee brain volume and density to behavior (plasticity) makes it a great model for exploring the interactions between experience, behavior and brain structure. Plasticity in the adult bee brain has been...

X-ray computerised microtomography (MicroCT)
Traditionally, the classification of bees has been conducted with the aid of dissecting (light) microscopy. In more recent times, detailed information on external and internal morphology for bee classification has been obtained...

The alternative Pharaoh approach
Workers from social insect colonies use different defence strategies to combat invaders. Nevertheless, some parasitic species are able to bypass colony defences. In particular, some beetle nest invaders cannot be killed or...

Sugar concentration influences decision making in<em> Apis mellifera</em> L. workers during early-stage honey storage behaviour
Decision making in honeybees is based on in- formation which is acquired and processed in order to make choices between two or more al- ternatives. These choices lead to the expression of optimal behaviour strategies such as...
