背景情况:
- 昆虫群体的社会组织受各种因素的影响,包括免疫力.
- 执行卫生任务的个人可能会改变他们的社会行为,以限制病原体的传播.
- 以前的研究表明,健康受损的个体表现出不同的社会和空间行为.
研究的目的:
- 为了测试参与卫生行为的蜜蜂工人是否会改变他们的社交网络互动.
- 为了确定卫生工作者是否在殖民地社会网络中联系较少或较多.
- 与非卫生工作者相比,评估卫生工作者传播新型感染的潜力.
主要方法:
- 蜜蜂工人的量化交互模式,使用静态社交网络分析.

01:03Communication
7.7K
Communication between two animals occurs when one animal transmits an information signal that causes a change in the animal that receives the information. Organisms communicate with one another in a host of different ways. Signals can be auditory, chemical, visual, tactile, or a combination of these. Communication is a critical behavioral adaptation that promotes survival, growth, and reproduction.

Most altruistic behavior—in which one animal helps another at a cost to themselves—occurs between relatives. Scientists think these altruistic behaviors evolved because they increase the inclusive fitness of the animal providing help.

Altruistic behaviors are “unselfish” behaviors—those that help another individual at the expense of the individual carrying out the behavior. Despite the negative consequences for the altruistic animal, these behaviors are thought to have evolved for several reasons.

Flowers are the reproductive, seed-producing structures of angiosperms. Typically, flowers consist of sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. Sepals and petals are the vegetative flower organs. Stamens and carpels are the reproductive organs.
