A Crowd of Bees --$tAcknowledgments --$tIndex 330 $aCharles Darwin struggled to explain how forty thousand bees working in the dark, seemingly by instinct alone, could organize themselves to construct something as perfect as a honey comb. How do bees accomplish such incredible tasks? Synthesizing the findings of decades of experiments, The Spirit of the Hive presents a comprehensive picture of the genetic and physiological mechanisms underlying the division of labor in honey bee colonies and explains how bees' complex social behavior has evolved over millions of years. Robert Page, one of the foremost honey bee geneticists in the world, sheds light on how the coordinated activity of hives arises naturally when worker bees respond to stimuli in their environment. The actions they take in turn alter the environment and so change the stimuli for their nestmates. For example, a bee detecting ample stores of pollen in the hive is inhibited from foraging for more, whereas detecting the presence of hungry young larvae will stimulate pollen gathering. Division of labor, Page shows, is an inevitable product of group living, because individual bees vary genetically and physiologically in their sensitivities to stimuli and have different probabilities of encountering and responding to them. A fascinating window into self-organizing regulatory networks of honey bees, The Spirit of the Hive applies genomics, evolution, and behavior to elucidate the details of social structure and advance our understanding of complex adaptive systems in nature. 606 $aBeehives 606 $aHoneybee$xBehavior 606 $aHoneybee$xEvolution 606 $aPollen 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBeehives. 615 0$aHoneybee$xBehavior. 615 0$aHoneybee$xEvolution. 615 0$aPollen. 676 $a595.79/9 700 $aPage$b Robert E$01042375 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462813803321 996 $aThe spirit of the hive$92466572 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04869oam 2200745I 450 001 9910454047603321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-429-96763-2 010 $a0-429-49908-6 010 $a0-7867-2594-X 024 7 $a10.4324/9780429499081 035 $a(CKB)1000000000755361 035 $a(EBL)625045 035 $a(OCoLC)361888134 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000196379 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11189571 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000196379 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10142787 035 $a(PQKB)11294416 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC625045 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL625045 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10267510 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL865268 035 $a(OCoLC)1029248479 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000755361 100 $a20180706d2009 fy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aMan the hunted $eprimates, predators, and human evolution /$fDonna Hart, Robert W.
