Culture as an attribute of digital transformation by S. V. Firsova, O. M. Danilina, A. A. Dashkov, V. Yu. Pokazanyev

“…Based on the analysis, the authors formulate and substantiate five main reasons why building a digital culture should become a key problem for the successful development of any organization: 1) digital transformation will not be complete without the development of a thriving digital culture; 2) insufficient organizational culture is detrimental to success in the digital age; 3) a strong digital culture is a competitive advantage for an organization; 4) a strong digital culture is the key to business longevity; 5) using a digital culture can increase employee engagement in the work process.…”

Reproductive Biology, Mating Behavior, and Vibratory Communication of the Brown-Winged Stink Bug, Edessa meditabunda (Fabr.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) by Cleonor Cavalcante A. Silva, Raul Alberto Laumann, Jonatas Barbosa Cavalcante Ferreira, Maria Carolina Blassioli Moraes, Miguel Borges, Andrej Čokl

“…Females with multiple mating show increased fecundity when compared with single-mated females and both increased fecundity and reduced longevity when compared with virgin females. Courtship and mating behavior and vibratory signals are typical and similar to what was observed in other species of pentatomids, except that males started the courtship. …”

Increased overwintering temperature reduces reproductive success of the solitary bee species Osmia bicornis by Sarah Müller, Jana Collatz, Henning Richter, Robert Zboray, Matthias Albrecht

“…After wintering at 4.5 °C and 8 °C females produced less offspring than after overwintering at 0 °C (26% or 36% less offspring, respectively). Although longevity and daily offspring production rate were not significantly affected, nesting duration of females wintered at 0 °C tended to be longer (+ 2.5 days) than that of bees wintered at 4.5 °C, which likely contributed to the higher offspring production at colder overwintering temperatures. …”
