Cuticular and Glandular Chemistry of Megalopta genalis
Kingwell, Callum; Böröczky, Katalin; Steitz, Iris; Ayasse, Manfred; Wcislo, William (2020)These data are from the analysis of cuticular and Dufour’s gland chemistry across alternative social phenotypes within a population of facultatively eusocial Megalopta genalis bees (tribe Augochlorini, family Halictidae). ... -
Data from: Artificial shaking signals in honey bee colonies elicit natural responses
Koenig, Phoebe A; Smith, Michael L; Horowitz, Logan H; Palmer, Daniel M; Petersen, Kirstin H (2020)Honey bee signals are primarily studied through natural observation combined with manipulations of the colony or environment, not direct manipulation of the signal stimulus or receivers. Consequently, we know little about ... -
Data from: Response of Wild Spotted Wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) to Microbial Volatiles
Bueno, Eduardo; Martin, Kyle R; Raguso, Robert A; McMullen, John G II; Hesler, Stephen P; Loeb, Greg M; Douglas, Angela E (2019)The olfactory cues used by various animals to detect and identify food items often include volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by food-associated microorganisms. Microbial VOCs have potential as lures to trap animal ... -
Data from: Queenless honey bees build infrastructure for direct reproduction until their new queen proves her worth
Smith, Michael L (2018)The terminal investment hypothesis predicts that individuals will alter their reproductive investments based on reproductive prospects. This hypothesis, however, has never been tested at the colony-level, where reproductive ... -
Data from: "Larger but not louder: bigger honey bee colonies have quieter combs”
Smith, Michael L; Chen, Po-Cheng (2017-10-02)Communication is impossible if the sender’s signal cannot overcome background noise to reach the receiver. This obstacle is present in all communication modalities, forcing organisms to develop diverse mechanisms to overcome ... -
Data from: The behavioral regulation of thirst, water collection, and water storage in honey bee colonies
Ostwald, Madeleine M; Smith, Michael L; Seeley, Thomas D (2016)This data is from a study that investigates how a honey bee colony develops and quenches its collective thirst when it experiences hyperthermia of its broodnest, the nest region whose temperature and humidity are precisely ... -
Data from: How Honey Bee Colonies Survive in the Wild: Testing the Importance of Small Nests and Frequent Swarming
Loftus, J Carter; Smith, Michael L; Seeley, Thomas D (2016)The ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor, and the viruses that it transmits, kill the colonies of European honey bees (Apis mellifera) kept by beekeepers unless the bees are treated with miticides. Nevertheless, there ... -
The Collapse Times of Tall Multi-story buildings of Constant Cross-scection
Howland, Bradford; Howland, Frank M.; Howland, Howard C. (2012-02-03)We present a simple mathematical model of the collapse of tall multistory buildings in general and of the world trade center (WTC) towers in particular with the object of predicting the collapse times. In constructing the ... -
On the Mechanism of the Eye
Young, Thomas (Philosophical Transactions, 1801)Thomas Young was an English physician and a physicist who was responsible for many important theories and discoveries in optics and in human anatomy. This is a paper written by him that describes the mechanism of the eye ...
