Journal ArticleDOI
A simple and distinctive microbiota associated with honey bees and bumble bees
Vincent G. Martinson,Bryan N. Danforth,Robert L. Minckley,Olav Rueppell,Salim Tingek,Nancy A. Moran +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that most bee species lack phylotypes that are the same or similar to those typical of A. mellifera, rejecting the hypothesis that this dietary transition was symbiont‐dependent and potentially key to the maintenance of a more consistent gut microbiota.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is argued that inclusive fitness theory has been of little value in explained the natural world, and that it has led to negligible progress in explaining the evolution of eusociality, but these arguments are based upon a misunderstanding of evolutionary theory and a misrepresentation of the empirical literature.

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.

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.
