Nat Commun
. 2023 Aug;
14(1):4751.
PMID: 37550318
Cities can host significant biological diversity. Yet, urbanisation leads to the loss of habitats, species, and functional groups. Understanding how multiple taxa respond to urbanisation globally is essential to promote...

Smith M, Loope K, Chuttong B, Dobelmann J, Makinson J, Saga T, et al.
PLoS Biol
. 2023 Jul;
21(7):e3002211.
PMID: 37498968
The hexagonal cells built by honey bees and social wasps are an example of adaptive architecture; hexagons minimize material use, while maximizing storage space and structural stability. Hexagon building evolved...

Woodgate J, Makinson J, Rossi N, Lim K, Reynolds A, Rawlings C, et al.
iScience
. 2021 Jul;
24(6):102499.
PMID: 34308279
Male honeybees (drones) are thought to congregate in large numbers in particular "drone congregation areas" to mate. We used harmonic radar to record the flight paths of individual drones and...

Sci Rep
. 2019 Mar;
9(1):4651.
PMID: 30894590
The dispersal of animals from their birth place has profound effects on the immediate survival and longer-term persistence of populations. Molecular studies have estimated that bumblebee colonies can be established...

Woodgate J, Makinson J, Lim K, Reynolds A, Chittka L
Sci Rep
. 2017 Dec;
7(1):17323.
PMID: 29230062
Animals that visit multiple foraging sites face a problem, analogous to the Travelling Salesman Problem, of finding an efficient route. We explored bumblebees' route development on an array of five...

J Exp Biol
. 2017 Feb;
220(Pt 4):686-694.
PMID: 28202653
Transportation networks play a crucial role in human and animal societies. For a transportation network to be efficient, it must have adequate capacity to meet traffic demand. Network design becomes...

. 2016 Aug;
11(8):e0160333.
PMID: 27490662
Insect pollinators such as bumblebees play a vital role in many ecosystems, so it is important to understand their foraging movements on a landscape scale. We used harmonic radar to...

217(Pt 11):2020-7.
PMID: 24675563
During reproductive swarming, honey bee scouts perform two very important functions. Firstly, they find new nesting locations and return to the swarm cluster to communicate their discoveries. Secondly, once the...
