• Why do not all workers work? Colony size and workload during emigrations in the ant Temnothorax albipennis (2008, background): “Indeed, workload can be very unevenly distributed among workers in a task group (Cole 1986; Hölldobler and Wilson 1990; Robson and Traniello 1999).”
• Queen and worker policing in the tree wasp Dolichovespula sylvestris (2005, background): “When worker reproduction occurs, it can have significant costs because reproductive workers usually perform little or no useful work in the colony (Landolt et al. 1977; Cole 1984, 1986; Moritz and Hillesheim 1985; Ross 1985; Hillesheim et al. 1989; Martin et al. 2002; Hartmann and Heinze 2003).”
• Spatial organization and division of labour in the bumblebee Bombus impatiens (2009, background): “In other social insect species, a large percentage of workers are often observed remaining motionless inside the nest (40% of Apis mellifera honeybees: Lindauer 1978; 55% of Temnothorax allardycei ants: Cole 1986).”
• To fight or not to fight: context-dependent interspecific aggression in competing ants (2009, background): “Although aggressive behaviour towards a competitor is sometimes necessary, aggression can be costly in terms of energy spent, time lost, and possible injury or mortality (Jaeger 1981; Cole 1986).”
• Queen fertility, egg marking and colony size in the ant Camponotus floridanus (2006, unknown): “In the presence of a fertile queen, worker reproduction may divert resources from brood rearing, which imposes costs on colony productivity and reduces the indirect fitness gains of workers (Cole 1986; Pamilo 1991).”
