Changing paradigms in insect social evolution: insights from halictine and allodapine bees.
- M. Schwarz, M. Richards, B. Danforth
- Biology, Medicine
- Annual review of entomology
- 2007
Until the 1980s theories of social insect evolution drew strongly on halictine and allodapine bees. However, that early work suffered from a lack of sound phylogenetic inference and detailed… Expand
Evolution of sociality in the allodapine bees: a review of sex allocation, ecology and evolution
- M. Schwarz, N. J. Bull, K. Hogendoorn
- Biology
- Insectes Sociaux
- 1 November 1998
Summary: Comparative studies provide one of the most powerful means of assessing the relative roles of selective agents underlying social evolution in insects. Because of the wide variation in social… Expand
Numerical modelling of gas-liquid flow in stirred tanks
- G. Lane, M. Schwarz, G. Evans
- Mathematics
- 1 April 2005
Abstract A numerical modelling method is presented for gas–liquid flow in mechanically stirred tanks. In this method, the tank is represented by a mesh which explicitly includes the impeller… Expand

Molecular phylogenetics of allodapine bees, with implications for the evolution of sociality and progressive rearing.
- M. Schwarz, N. J. Bull, S. Cooper
- Medicine, Biology
- Systematic biology
- 1 February 2003
Allodapine bees have long been regarded as providing useful material for examining the origins of social behavior. Previous researchers have assumed that sociality arose within the Allodapini and… Expand
Persistent multi-female nests in an Australian allodapine bee,Exoneura bicolor (Hymenoptera, Anthophoridae)
- M. Schwarz
- Biology
- Insectes Sociaux
- 1 September 1986
SummaryThe life cycle and aspects of the social organization ofExoneura bicolor are described for the first time. The population studied was univoltine, with egg production occuring from late winter… Expand
Molecular phylogenetics of the exoneurine allodapine bees reveal an ancient and puzzling dispersal from Africa to Australia.
- M. Schwarz, S. Fuller, S. Tierney, S. Cooper
- Biology, Medicine
- Systematic biology
- 1 February 2006
Previous phylogenetic studies of the bee tribe Allodapini suggested a puzzling biogeographic problem: one of the key basal divergences involved separation of the southern African and southern… Expand
