While a timely conceptual innovation for the digital age, the “map” proposed by Bentley et al. would benefit from strengthening through the inclusion of a non–clock-time perspective. In this way, there could be new hypotheses developed which could be... Read More about The missing dimension : The relevance of people's conception of time.

The boo... Read More about Informal urban agriculture : the secret lives of guerrilla gardeners.

Recognition of nestmate eggs in the ant Formica fusca is based on queen derived cues (2014)
Journal Article
based on queen derived cues. Current Zoology, 60(1), 131-136

Inclusive fitness benefits depend on recognizing the right individuals to interact with. Social insect nests protect
themselves from non-kin intruders through nestmate recognition based on chemical cues. The recognition cues on adult individuals
ar... Read More about Recognition of nestmate eggs in the ant Formica fusca is based on queen derived cues.
