Pollen characterisation of Maltese honey [PDF]
, 2013 In 2004 and 2005, pollen characterisation of 35 samples of honey collected from the islands of Malta and Gozo, was carried out with the aim to identify the botanical origin of honey produced on these islands.

Genomic analyses of the microsporidian Nosema ceranae, an emergent pathogen of honey bees. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2009 Recent steep declines in honey bee health have severely impacted the beekeeping industry, presenting new risks for agricultural commodities that depend on insect pollination.

Scientific Reports, 2023 Nest defense in the honey bee (Apis mellifera) is a complex collective behavior modulated by various interacting social, environmental, and genetic factors. Scutellata-hybrid (“Africanized”) honey bees are usually considered to be far more defensive than

Expression profiles of urbilaterian genes uniquely shared between honey bee and vertebrates
BMC Genomics, 2009 Background Large-scale comparison of metazoan genomes has revealed that a significant fraction of genes of the last common ancestor of Bilateria (Urbilateria) is lost in each animal lineage.

Dataset: Computer software for identification of honey bee subspecies and evolutionary lineages
, 2018 Coordinates of 19 landmarks from honey bee (Apis mellifera) worker wings. They represent 1832 workers, 187 colonies, 25 subspecies and four evolutionary lineages. The material was obtained from the Morphometric Bee Data Bank in Oberursel, Germany.

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2020 AbstractParent-of-origin methylation arises when the methylation patterns of a particular allele are dependent on the parent it was inherited from. Previous work in honey bees has shown evidence of parent-of-origin-specific expression, yet the mechanisms regulating such pattern remain unknown in honey bees.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species
Insect Science, EarlyView.Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.
