Journal ArticleDOI

Insights into social insects from the genome of the honeybee Apis mellifera

George M. Weinstock, +228 more
- 26 Oct 2006 - 
TL;DR: The genome sequence of the honeybee Apis mellifera is reported, suggesting a novel African origin for the species A. melliferA and insights into whether Africanized bees spread throughout the New World via hybridization or displacement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple routes of pesticide exposure for honey bees living near agricultural fields.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that bees are exposed to neonicotinoid compounds and several other agricultural pesticides in several ways throughout the foraging period, and clarify some of the mechanisms by which honey bees may be exposed to agricultural pesticides throughout the growing season.
Journal ArticleDOI

Finding the missing honey bee genes: Lessons learned from a genome upgrade

Christine G. Elsik, +51 more
- 30 Jan 2014 - 
TL;DR: Improved honey bee genome assembly with a new gene annotation set and a number of genes similar to that of other insect genomes are reported, contrary to what was suggested in OGSv1.0.
Journal ArticleDOI

DEFENSIVE BEHAVIOR OF HONEY BEES: Organization, Genetics, and Comparisons with Other Bees

TL;DR: Comparisons between A. mellifera and other species of Apis, as well as with allodapine, halictine, bombine, and meliponine bees, illustrate the wide variety of evolutionary solutions to problems in colony defense in the Apoidea.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Making of a Queen: TOR Pathway Is a Key Player in Diphenic Caste Development

TL;DR: The results present the first evidence for a role of TOR in diphenic development, and suggest that adoption of this ancestral nutrient-sensing cascade is one evolutionary pathway for morphological caste differentiation in social insects.
