A comprehensive phylogeny of the bumble bees (Bombus) (2007, background): “…similar in morphology throughout their range (Michener, 1990; Williams, 1998), suggesting that ecological opportunity and behavioural adaptations play an important role in colonizing diverse habitats (Sakagami, 1976; Cameron & Whitfield, 1996; Dornhaus & Cameron, 2003; Dornhaus & Chittka, 2004).”
Information flow and organization of stingless bee foraging (2004, unknown): “This is similar to bumble bee foraging (Dornhaus and Chittka, 2004).”
Bumble bees (Bombus terrestris) store both food and information in honeypots (2005, background): “Foraging activity is thus adjusted to the presence of food sources (Dornhaus and Chittka, 2004).”
Benefits of recruitment in honey bees: effects of ecology and colony size in an individual-based model (2006, background): “It may also explain why experimental studies on honey bees found recruitment benefits to vary with season (Sherman and Visscher, 2002) and habitat (Dornhaus and Chittka, 2004b) because resource distribution is likely to change with both these factors.”
