EXTRACTING INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTICS FROM POPULATION DATA REVEALS A NEGATIVE SOCIAL EFFECT DURING HONEYBEE DEFENCE

Extracting individual characteristics from population data reveals a negative social effect during honeybee defence

Honeybees protect their colony against vertebrates by mass stinging and they coordinate their actions during this crucial event thanks to an alarm pheromone carried directly on the stinger, which is therefore released upon stinging.The pheromone then recruits nearby bees so that more and more bees participate in the defence.However, a quantitative

Mass transfer in liquid-phase epitaxy of two-layer systems

A liquid phase epitaxy Tote Bag diffusion model of a two-layer system at instable cooling speed of the solution-melt has been developed.It was discovered that the transition process continues even after the termination of cooling, due to which the layer growth continues Baking as well.This effect is connected with to the hypothetical inertia of the
