Making Sense of Diversity of Foragers
If foraging is considered only as a practice of engaging with wild products, then all foragers might look the same. However, if diverse knowledge...

A mixed model of heat exchange in stationary honeybee foragers
During foraging honeybees are always endothermic to stay ready for immediate flight and to promote fast exploitation of resources. This means high...

Practices and Perceptions of Foragers of Wild Resources in Lagos Metropolis, Nigeria
During the past decades, a growing body of literature has recognized the benefits (including ecological, social, economic, cultural, and...

Intergroup Cooperation in Shotgun Hunting Among BaYaka Foragers and Yambe Farmers from the Republic of the Congo
Whereas many evolutionary models emphasize within-group cooperation or between-group competition in explaining human large-scale cooperation, recent...

Turnover of strain-level diversity modulates functional traits in the honeybee gut microbiome between nurses and foragers
BackgroundStrain-level diversity is widespread among bacterial species and can expand the functional potential of natural microbial communities....

Different effects of pesticides on transcripts of the endocrine regulation and energy metabolism in honeybee foragers from different colonies
Honeybees are important pollinators of many crops and contribute to biological biodiversity. For years, a decline in bee populations has been...

Stingless bee (Tetragonula carbonaria) foragers prioritise resin and reduce pollen foraging after hive splitting
Stingless bees are increasingly in demand as pollinators in agricultural crops within the tropics and subtropics. Hive splitting, where one strong...

Bioinsecticide spinosad poses multiple harmful effects on foragers of Apis mellifera
There are multifactorial causes for the recent decline in bee populations, which has resulted in compromised pollination and reduced biodiversity....

From Veld to Coast: Towards an Understanding of the Diverse Landscapes’ Uses by Past Foragers in Southern Africa
In this brief contribution, we outline the aims of a collection entitled “From veld to coast: towards an understanding of the diverse landscapes’...

Deconstructing and contextualizing foraging behavior in bumble bees and other central place foragers
Bumble bee foragers provide essential pollination services in both natural and agricultural ecosystems. However, foraging is not monolithic; rather,...

Human remains from Arma di Nasino (Liguria) provide novel insights into the paleoecology of early Holocene foragers in northwestern Italy
We report the discovery and analysis of new Mesolithic human remains—dated to ca. 10,200–9000 cal. BP—from Arma di Nasino in Liguria, northwestern...

The Use of Wooden Clubs and Throwing Sticks among Recent Foragers
There is a popular idea that archaic humans commonly used wooden clubs as their weapons. This is not based on archaeological finds, which are minimal...
-
Distinct gut microbiota profiles of Asian honey bee (Apis cerana) foragers
Bee gut microbial communities have been studied extensively and linked to honey bee biology in terms of stages of bee development and behavior....

The foodplant fitness landscape of Wonderboom and possible implications for Middle Pleistocene foragers of the Magaliesberg, South Africa
With this contribution, we provide a species and edible part list for the foodplant population of the Wonderboom landscape at the eastern end of the...

Exploitation of lydite and jasper by Epipaleolithic foragers in the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau and surrounding regions
Lithic raw material analysis is the key to understanding prehistoric foragers’ resource exploitation strategies, mobility patterns, cultural...

Models, Foragers, Human Beings, and a Hunter-Gatherer Career
Mike Jochim has been foundational to thinking systematically about the archaeological study of hunters and gatherers. This paper briefly reviews the...

African Farmers, Not Stone Age Foragers: Reassessment of Human Remains from the Mumbwa Caves, Zambia
In this article, we reassess the human remains from the Mumbwa Caves housed in the Raymond A. Dart Archaeological Human Remains Collection at the...

Context-dependent use of olfactory cues by foragers of Vespula germanica social wasps
Food search is guided by cues from different sensory modalities, such as olfactory and visual. In social wasps, olfaction plays a key role in...

Ancient DNA and deep population structure in sub-Saharan African foragers
Multiple lines of genetic and archaeological evidence suggest that there were major demographic changes in the terminal Late Pleistocene epoch and...
