Impacts of seasonality and parasitism on honey bee population dynamics
Jun Chen, Jordy O Rodriguez Rincon, Gloria DeGrandi-Hoffman +3
The honeybee plays an extremely important role in ecosystem stability and diversity and in the production of bee pollinated crops. Honey bees and other pollinators are under threat…
Nutritional Regulation Influencing Colony Dynamics and Task Allocations in Social Insect Colonies
Feng Rao, Marisabel Rodriguez Messan, Angelica Marquez +2
In this paper, we use an adaptive modeling framework to model and study how nutritional status (measured by the protein to carbohydrate ratio) may regulate population dynamics and…
How to model honeybee population dynamics: stage structure and seasonality
Jun Chen, Komi Messan, Marisabel Rodriguez Messan +3
Western honeybees (Apis Mellifera) serve extremely important roles in our ecosystem and economics as they are responsible for pollinating $ 215 billion dollars annually over the wo…
Population dynamics of Varroa mite and honeybee: Effects of parasitism with age structure and seasonality
Komi Messan, Marisabel Rodriguez Messan, Jun Chen +2
Honeybees play an important role in the production of many agricultural crops and in sustaining plant diversity in undisturbed ecosystems. The rapid decline of honeybee populations…
Dynamics of Social Interactions and Agent Spreading in Social Insects Colonies: Effects of Environmental Events and Spatial Heterogeneity
Xisohui Guo, Jun Chen, Asma Azizi +2
The relationship between division of labor and individuals' spatial behavior in social insect colonies provides a useful context to study how social interactions influence the spre…
Dynamical models of task organization in social insect colonies
Yun Kang, Guy Theraulaz
The organizations of insect societies, such as division of labor, task allocation, collective regulation, mass action responses, have been considered as main reasons for the ecolog…
