PER
- Learning of bimodal versus unimodal signals in restrained bumble bees
Summary: The performance of bumble bees varies broadly when trained to bimodal stimuli and the components within a bimodal stimulus are not used equivalently.
- Experience-dependent tuning of early olfactory processing in the adult honey bee, Apis mellifera
Summary: Experience acquired during adulthood changes the morphology, physiology and behavioral output of the olfactory system in the honey bee.
- Effects of sublethal doses of thiacloprid and its formulation Calypso® on the learning and memory performance of honey bees
Summary: The neonicotinoid thiacloprid as an active substance and as a formulation (Calypso®) negatively affects honey bees by reducing their learning and memory performance, which endangers their survival in natural conditions.
- Learning, gustatory responsiveness and tyramine differences across nurse and forager honeybees
Summary: Tyramine improves appetitive learning in nurse bees but not in foragers.
- Salt preferences of honey bee water foragers
Summary: Individual salt preferences of honey bee water foragers were not known. Using the proboscis extension reflex response, we found significant preferences for specific concentrations of Na, Mg, K and phosphate salts.
