Geographical variation in animal phenotypes is common, yet we know surprisingly little about how recognition varies across populations. Instead, much recognition research focuses on one or a few populations and assumes recognition behaviour is consis

Theory suggests honest status signals mediate agonistic interactions between unfamiliar individuals, but may be less important during interactions between familiar individuals. Few studies have tested receiver responses to status signals in multiple

The establishment of reproductive division of labor in primitively eusocial insects is typically based on dominance interactions from the queen toward her worker daughters. We used a standardized behavioral assay, the circle tube, to observe aggressi

Social cooperation requires increased tolerance of other individuals. We used social and solitary individuals of the facultatively eusocial bee Megalopta genalis to compare interactions with non-nestmate individuals in a standardized behavioral assay

Understanding the ecological benefits that may select for the evolution of living in groups rather than solitarily is key to understanding the evolution of social cooperation. Defense against natural enemies, such as parasites and predators, is gener

The mushroom body (MB) is an area of the insect brain involved in learning, memory, and sensory integration. Here, we used the sweat bee Megalopta genalis (Halictidae) to test for differences between queens and workers in the volume of the MB calyces

Social insect foragers may specialize on certain resource types. Specialization on pollen or nectar among honeybee foragers is hypothesized to result from associations between reproductive physiology and sensory tuning that evolved in ancestral solit
