TL;DR: This first report of the whole genome sequence of A. cerana provides resources for comparative sociogenomics, especially in the field of social insect communication, to contribute to a better understanding of the complex behaviors and natural biology of the Asian honey bee and to anticipate its future evolutionary trajectory.

TL;DR: This paper provides easy to use protocols for the collection, identification, diagnosis, rearing, breeding, marking and measurement of infestation rates and fertility of V. destructor and describes pros and cons for all methods for the user to know which method to use under which circumstances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity promotes homeostasis in insect colonies
TL;DR: It is argued here that a contributing factor towards the evolution of polyandry is that the resulting genetic diversity within colonies provides them with a system of genetically based task specialization, enabling them to respond resiliently to environmental perturbation.
Book ChapterDOI
Nest thermoregulation in social insects
TL;DR: This review examines the variety of mechanisms that social insect species have evolved to regulate temperature and divides these mechanisms into two broad categories: active and passive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Honeybees as a model for the study of visually guided flight, navigation, and biologically inspired robotics.
TL;DR: This review begins by describing the principles of visual guidance that underlie perception of the world in three dimensions, obstacle avoidance, control of flight speed, and orchestrating smooth landings, and considers how navigation over long distances is accomplished.
