A unique and personal insight into the ecology and evolution of pollinators, their
relationships with flowers, and their conservation in a rapidly changing world. The …

Animal sociality plays a crucial organisational role in evolution. As a result, understanding
the factors that promote the emergence, maintenance, and diversification of animal societies …

Diapause is a physiological arrest of development ahead of adverse environmental
conditions and is a critical phase of the life cycle of many insects. In bees, diapause has …

The costs and benefits of being social vary with environmental conditions, so individuals
must weigh the balance between these trade‐offs in response to changes in the …

Small carpenter bees in the genus Ceratina are behaviourally diverse, species-rich, and
cosmopolitan, with over 370 species and a range including all continents except Antarctica …

Climatic factors are known to shape the expression of social behaviours. Likewise, variation
in social behaviour can dictate climate responses. Understanding interactions between …

The social Hymenoptera have contributed much to our understanding of the evolution of
sensory systems. Attention has focussed chiefly on how sociality and sensory systems have …

Studies investigating social evolution often focus on species that are obligately eusocial,
where presumably all of the adaptive genetic changes associated with sociality have …

Natural history of facultative social taxa is important for understanding the evolution of
Eusociality. However, data for the social status of many species are missing. Social status of …

Vicariance and dispersal events, combined with intricate global climatic history, have left an
imprint on the spatiotemporal distribution and diversity of many organisms. Anelosimus …
