Insects communicate and interact through various means such as pheromones, sound, light, and organized social structures. Pheromones are chemicals released by animals that can influence the behavior of others of the same species. Ants use pheromone trails to mark paths and communicate information. Honeybees have a complex social structure with worker bees, a queen, and drones each playing distinct roles in the hive. They communicate through a "dance of the bees" where scouts indicate locations of food sources to other worker bees. Many insects also communicate using sound, like crickets and mosquitoes, or light, as fireflies do through flashing patterns unique to their species.

Mimicry in insects
This document discusses different types of mimicry in insects. It begins by defining mimicry as when one insect resembles another to deceive predators. There are several types of mimicry discussed, including Batesian mimicry where harmless species mimic harmful ones, Mullerian mimicry where multiple poisonous species resemble each other, and aggressive mimicry where predators mimic prey. Specific examples are given such as bees, ants, and wasps mimicking each other's warning colors to deter predators. Self-mimicry, where body parts mimic other parts to confuse attackers, is also described.

Describe social behavior in Termites that differs from that in ants and bees.
Solution
Among the various insects there are few species which can be termed as social or \'eusocial\'.
This particular attribute is chracterized by certain traits such as:
1. Reproductive division of labour
2. Co-operative brood care
3. Carry out different functions necessary for the survival of the colony.
4. Social insects are organized into different \'castes\' depending on their roles.
5. They are mainly able to communicate through pheromones.
But in spite of similar social behavioural patterns there are certain differences which are listed
below in tabular format.
Difference as per social behaviour
Termite
Ants
Bees
The worker caste in termites are generally sexually undeveloped male or female
The worker caste in ants are generally sexually undeveloped female
The worker bees are sterile female.
The worker termites carry out a range of duties – They are essentially builders, miners and
midwives rolled into one
The worker ants look after the queen, care for the young, forage for food
The worker bees produce and shape the wax honeycomb
The soldier termites are both male and female but sexually underdeveloped
The soldier ants are all female
The soldier/ worker bees are all sterile female
The winged termites also mate. But they do not die after mating.
The winged drone ants are the only male in the colony and they die once they are mated
Virgin queens go on mating flights away from their home colony to a drone congregation area,
and mate with multiple drones before returning. The drones die in the act of mating
Incomplete metamorphosis: egg, nymph, adult (no pupal stage)
Complete metamorphosis: egg, larva, pupa, adult
Complete metamorphosis: egg, larva, pupa, adult
Termites basically live on plant tissue.
Ants are generally scavenger in nature and foraging to gather different foods depending on
species and habitat
Bees mainly forage into the nectar of flowers and process them into honey
Termites can not sting
Most ants can sting and they can withdraw the stinger from the victim\'s body and can perform
the stinging repeatedly without hurting themselves
Bees can also sting but it is suicidal for them since once they sting they stinger gets lodged in the
victim\'s body and the venom sack comes out of the bee\'s body thereby resulting in its death

Bees are flying insects that come in over 20,000 species and play an essential role in pollination. They have yellow and black stripes and a unique breeding system. There are two main types of bees - solitary bees that live alone and communal bees that live in colonies. Honey bees live in large colonies with different roles like queens, drones, and workers. Workers make honey by collecting nectar from flowers and digesting and regurgitating it. Bees are vital pollinators for many crops but their populations are declining due to pesticides, parasites, and loss of habitat. Protecting bees is important for food security and ecosystems.
Introduction to beekeeping
Bees are important pollinators for many food crops. They pollinate about one third of crop species in the US, contributing over $15 billion to the US economy. A healthy bee hive contains approximately 40-45,000 bees organized with one queen, several thousand drones, and thousands of female worker bees. Worker bees progress through different roles within the hive over their lifespan, beginning with cleaning cells and feeding larvae before transitioning to other tasks like producing wax and guarding the hive.
Know Your Butterfly: Phengaris
Phengaris species are myrmecophiles. In the 4th instar they leave their host plant to crawl to ground and be adopted by ants. Some peacefully coexist in ant nest and others are social predators which eat their ant larvae. To survive they need three critical things: undisturbed habitat, special plants and specific ant relationships.Phengaris belong to Lycaenidae or the Blue Butterflies.

The document provides information about pollination and bees. It discusses how both male and female bees collect nectar for energy but only females gather pollen to feed their brood. It also explains that the byproduct of bees gathering these resources is plant pollination. The document then gives more details about different types of bees, including how they build nests and care for larvae.
Bees!
There are over 20,000 known species of bees that play a vital role in pollinating many important food crops through transporting pollen from plant to plant. Honey bees live in large colonies consisting of a single queen, many female worker bees, and male drones. The queen lays eggs and produces pheromones to control the hive, workers care for larvae, collect nectar and pollen, and produce wax for the hive. Drones exist only to mate with queens. Bees communicate through dancing and scents, and their wings beat over 11,000 times per minute, producing their distinctive buzz.
Honey bee
The document discusses the importance of honey bees and the need to protect them. It notes that honey bees pollinate over 80% of the world's flowering plants and are essential for global food production. The document outlines the three types of bees in a hive - workers, queens, and drones - and their respective roles. It also discusses the various products derived from beeswax and honey, as well as the economic value of honey bee pollination. The text warns that honey bee populations are declining due to mites, colony collapse disorder, and pesticide use, threatening food security. Protecting and supporting honey bees through research and apiaries is imperative.
Cuckoobee
Cuckoo bumblebees belong to the subgenus Psithyrus of Bombus. They are kleptoparasites that lay eggs in the nests of other bumblebee species. Cuckoo bees lack pollen baskets and have sparser hairs than their hosts. Many parasitic bee species share traits like reduced body hair and thick exoskeletons. Parasitic bees enter host nests and lay eggs, with their larvae killing and consuming the host offspring. Approximately 15% of bee species are parasitic, with over 3,000 species worldwide exhibiting this behavior.

The document is intended to educate readers about common bugs through a mix of scientific information and creative writing.
Bee's by Jamie
A honey bee is an insect that uses its stinger to defend itself and its hive. It produces honey by swallowing nectar and expelling it back at the hive. Wasps and other bees from different hives are dangers because they attack and kill bees or steal their honey. Bees are important because they pollinate plants and flowers, and without bees there would be no plants for herbivores or carnivores to survive, ultimately leading to the extinction of humans. There are different types of bees including worker bees, drone bees, queen bees, killer bees, and bumble bees. Bees live in colonies and are not likely to attack unless bothered.

Bees
Bees are flying insects known for pollination, honey, and beeswax production. There are approximately 20,000 bee species. Bees communicate through pheromones transmitted via mouth and antennas. The life cycle of a honeybee includes egg, larva/prepupa, pupa, and adult stages over approximately 3 weeks. Bees produce honey from flower nectar using enzymes in their mouths and store it in honeycombs.
Chapter 3 good buddies! final
The document describes various examples of symbiotic relationships between different organisms, and asks the reader to identify the type of symbiosis in each case. The three main types are defined as mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Mutualism benefits both organisms, commensalism benefits one without affecting the other, and parasitism benefits one organism at the expense of the other.
Butterflies
The document summarizes the four life cycle phases of a butterfly:
1. Eggs are laid on leaves and hatch into caterpillars.
2. Caterpillars molt several times as they eat voraciously.
3. When fully grown, the caterpillar attaches itself and forms a chrysalis where it undergoes metamorphosis.
4. An adult butterfly emerges from the chrysalis with wet wings that soon harden and allow it to fly while feeding on nectar and searching for mates.

Lifespan of Ants
Ants are eusocial insects of the family
Formicidae and, along with the related
wasps and bees, belong to the order
Hymenoptera. Ants appear in the
fossil record across the globe in
considerable diversity during the
latest Early Cretaceous and Late
Cretaceous, suggesting an earlier
origin.
Beneficials class 5
1) Complex vegetation structure in gardens and landscapes provides shelter and food for many beneficial insects that prey on pest insects. 2) Flowers from plants like dill, fennel, yarrow, and goldenrod attract beneficial insects that control pests. 3) Limiting pesticide use helps beneficial insect populations recover more quickly than pest populations after treatment.
Economic zoology
Economic zoology deals with applying zoological knowledge to benefit humanity, such as cultivating animals for food and controlling pests. It covers topics like beneficial and harmful insects, crop pests, apiculture, sericulture, lac culture, aquaculture, venomous animals, and livestock/vector-borne diseases. Insects provide an estimated $57 billion in ecological services annually to justify greater conservation investments. Beneficial insects include pollinators that transfer crop pollen, valued at $3 billion in the US alone, and predators that control pests. Parasitic wasps, flies, and other insects also help limit pest populations. Productive insects include silkworms, honey bees, and lac
Honey bees enemies and its management
This document lists and describes the main enemies of bees:
1. Wax moths are a major enemy that damage combs, especially in weak colonies.
2. Ants attack weak colonies and carry away honey, pollen, and brood unless prevented.
3. Wasps like the yellow banded hornet wait at hive entrances to catch bees and feed them to larvae. Bee hunter wasps also catch and paralyze bees to stock nests.
4. Wax beetles and birds also pose minor threats by consuming old combs or catching bees.
Social organization in honey bee
Honey bees live in complex social colonies with different castes - queens, workers, and drones. Workers collect nectar and pollen to feed the colony, build wax cells to store honey and raise larvae, and communicate food sources to each other through intricate dances. The queen bee lays eggs and produces pheromones regulating colony behavior. Social organization allows for task specialization, protection from predators, and synchronized reproduction through cooperation between individuals.
insect mouth parts.pptx
Insects have a variety of mouthpart structures adapted for different feeding methods. The basic insect mouthparts include the labrum, mandibles, maxillae, labium, and hypopharynx. These structures are used for biting and chewing food in primitive insects like cockroaches. In many insects, the mouthparts are modified for sucking liquid foods like nectar or piercing solids and sucking out liquids. Examples given include bees with a curved labium for sucking nectar, butterflies with an elongated coiled proboscis, diving beetle larvae that pierce prey with mandibles and suck out fluids, and true bugs that use stylets formed from the mandibles and maxillae

This document provides an overview of essential epidemiology concepts. It defines communicable diseases as those caused by transmission of an infectious agent from person to person, either directly or indirectly through vectors or vehicles. Epidemiology studies the interaction between infectious agents, hosts, and the environment in disease outbreaks. It has helped increase ability to control spread of diseases through surveillance, prevention and treatment. Emerging and reemerging diseases continue to burden health systems, particularly in low-income countries. Epidemics are defined as excess disease cases in a community, while endemic diseases have relatively stable high prevalence in a geographic area or population group.

Honey bees are exposed to toxic chemicals through various routes when foraging. These include consuming contaminated pollen and nectar from plants treated with pesticides like neonicotinoids. Symptoms of pesticide poisoning include dead or dying bees at the hive entrance. Studies show bee declines are caused by multiple stress factors interacting, including pathogens, mites, lack of habitat, poor nutrition, and pesticide exposure. Pesticides can harm bees through oral, respiratory, or dermal exposure and have sublethal and indirect effects on bee health.

Causation in epidemiology involves determining the causes of disease and injury in order to prevent and control illness and promote health. A cause is either sufficient to inevitably produce an outcome or necessary for an outcome to develop. Causes are often multi-factorial rather than single factors, and can involve predisposing, enabling, precipitating, and reinforcing factors interacting together through a causal pathway to ultimately result in disease. Establishing causation requires considering whether a factor is consistently present with a disease and if removing the factor reduces disease occurrence.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selection
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptx
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.
