Octopamine has broad roles within invertebrate nervous systems as a neurohormone,
neurotransmitter, and neuromodulator. It orchestrates foraging behavior in many insect taxa …

The evolutionary transition from solitary life to group‐living in a society with cooperative
brood care, reproductive division of labor and morphological castes is associated with …

The neuro-mechanisms that regulate insect reproduction are not fully understood. Biogenic
amines, including octopamine, are neuromodulators that have been shown to modulate …

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is commonly used to immobilize insects and to induce reproduction in
bees. However, despite its wide use and potential off-target impacts, its underlying …

How the role of dopamine differs according to the evolution of eusociality and how it is
required in the flexible society of Polistes paper wasps need further clarification. In the …

Octopamine has broad roles within invertebrate nervous systems as a neurohormone,
neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. It orchestrates foraging behavior in many insect taxa …

Many insects show plasticity in the area of the brain called the mushroom bodies (MB) with
foraging and social experience. MBs are paired neuropils associated with learning and …

Biogenic amines are highly conserved across animal species and aid in the regulation of
movement, behavior, emotions, temperature, blood pressure, and endocrine secretion …

Rhus typhina L.(staghorn sumac) represents a valuable species in terms of its medicinal
properties and its wide variety of uses, which deserves more attention in the scientific world …

Abstract Models of 'plasticity-first'evolution suggest that phenotypic plasticity precedes and
facilitates the rapid evolution of new adaptations. Previous work has emphasised how new …
