Contests mediate access to reproductive opportunities in almost all species of animals. An important aspect of the evolution of contests is the reduction of the costs incurred during intra-specific encounters to a minimum. However, escalated fights a

Pheromonal predisposition to social parasitism in the honeybee Apis mellifera capensis. Behavioral Ecology, 21(6), pp. 1221-1226. Oxford University Press 10.1093/beheco/arq131

In honeybees, worker reproduction is mainly regulated by pheromones produced by the brood and the queen. The source of one of the queen pheromones influencing worker reproduction has been located in the mandibular glands. In nonlaying workers, this g
