- Self‐medication in insects: current evidence and future perspectives (2014, background): “This result is of interest because although resin collection has previously been acknowledged as a form of social immunity (Cremer et al., 2007), it has been found to be prophylactic rather than therapeutic (Castella et al., 2008).”
- Superorganism resilience: eusociality and susceptibility of ecosystem service providing insects to stressors (2015, background): “intraspecific cleaning of nest mates) [36] and social analogues to the immune system of vertebrates, such as behavioural fever (i.”
- Defensive microbial symbionts in Hymenoptera (2014, background): “…chemicals provided by parents, nestmates, or the developing insect itself, the offspring of social insects is usually tended by a special subcaste of workers that is separated from individuals which have more contact to pathogens and therefore pose a higher infection risk (Cremer et al. 2007).”
- Understanding the Effects of Sublethal Pesticide Exposure on Honey Bees: A Role for Probiotics as Mediators of Environmental Stress (2020, background): “The diminished repertoire of detoxifying genes in the honey bee might stem from compensatory mechanisms associated with their highly social behavior, including herd immunity (Evans et al., 2006; Cremer et al., 2007) and a ‘social detoxification system,’ which focuses on how hive behavioral dynamics ”
- Group living and pathogen infection revisited (2016, positive): “However, the concept of ‘social immunity’ expands this view, referring to collective defenses some organisms use to protect themselves and conspecifics against parasites [28].”
