Journal ArticleDOI

The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization

Ben M. Sadd, +154 more
- 24 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: Overall, gene repertoires suggest that the route to advanced eusociality in bees was mediated by many small changes in many genes and processes, and not by notable expansion or depauperation.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

A cuticle protein gene in the honeybee: expression during development and in relation to the ecdysteroid titer.

TL;DR: Data are consistent with an ecdysteroid pulse (increase in hormone titer followed by its decline) being critical for a high AmelCPR14 gene expression in pharate adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ecdysteroid-dependent expression of the tweedle and peroxidase genes during adult cuticle formation in the honey bee, Apis mellifera.

TL;DR: The data strongly suggest that these three genes play roles in ecdysteroid-dependent exoskeleton construction and differentiation and also point to a possible role for the two tweedle genes in the formation of the cuticle (peritrophic membrane) that internally lines the gut.
