Multiscale dynamics in honeybee societies
… honeybees, I study the temporal statistics of trophallaxis, an important social interaction that occurs in honeybee societies, and find that the distribution of trophallaxis durations is similar to the distribution of face-to-face interactions among humans. I propose a scaling argument to …

Interactions Between the Odorous House Ant (Tapinoma sessile) and RNA Viruses: a Multi-Faceted Approach
… infection in T. sessile colonies, suggesting trophallaxis as a route for horizontal transmission. These viruses were prevalent in urban populations with polygyne, unicolonial traits, indicating a potential association between colony social structure, colony location, and virus presence and …

Studies on the behaviour of Reticulitermes santonensis (Feytaud) in laboratory colonies and its implications for some methods of termite control
… of individuals in a colony and based on this, trophallaxis, aggression and cannibalism were investigated in detail. Preliminary study of food transmission showed that 'workers' played a major role in the distribution of food. It was found, that among factors responsible for release of …

Endocrine, transcriptomic and social regulation of division of labor in honey bees
… division of labor to social networks involving trophallaxis (exchange of oral secretions and food). It shows that not only are task-related behaviors associated with differences in social interactivity, but that group-level social properties can be altered by hormone treatments that shift …

Social Evolution in Action: Causes and Consequences
… two routes: directly from the parents via oral trophallaxis and indirectly via the carcass, through the deposition by parents of oral and anal exudates, which larvae then consume. I eliminated the former mechanism of inheritance, by breeding beetles with and without post-hatching care for two …
