Genomic signatures of evolutionary transitions from solitary to group living

Karen M. Kapheim, +60 more
- 05 Jun 2015 - 
TL;DR: There is no single road map to eusociality; independent evolutionary transitions in sociality have independent genetic underpinnings and these transitions do have similar general features, including an increase in constrained protein evolution accompanied by increases in the potential for gene regulation and decreases in diversity and abundance of transposable elements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression analysis of putative vitellogenin and lipophorin receptors in honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) queens and workers.

TL;DR: In ovaries the expression levels of the two honey bee LDLR members showed opposing trends: whereas Amvgr expression was upregulated as the ovaries became activated, Amlpr transcript levels gradually declined, corroborated the qPCR results showing an increase in AmVgr gene expression concomitant with follicle growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dicer-1 is a key enzyme in the regulation of oogenesis in panoistic ovaries

TL;DR: This work studies miRNA function in the most primitive, panoistic type of ovaries using the phylogenetically basal insect Blattella germanica (Dictyoptera, Blattellidae) as model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ovariole structure and oogenesis in queens and workers of the stingless bee Melipona quadrifasciata (Hymenoptera: Apidae, Meliponini) kept under different social conditions

TL;DR: The overall similarities in oogenesis between the two taxa suggest that the decision to form trophic eggs should only occur in the late stages of oogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence and expression pattern of the germ line marker vasa in honey bees and stingless bees

TL;DR: The sequence of vasa, a highly conserved gene specific to the germ line of metazoans, is determined for the honey bee and four stingless bees and by RT-PCR it is confirmed that germ line specificity of Amvasa expression in honey bees is confirmed.
