Large-scale mitochondrial DNA analysis of native honey bee Apis mellifera populations reveals a new African subgroup private to the South West Indian Ocean islands

BMC Genetics, 2017
Background The South West Indian Ocean (SWIO) archipelagos and Madagascar constitute a hotspot of biodiversity with a high rate of endemism. In this area, the endemic subspecies A. m. unicolor has been described in Madagascar.

High sample throughput genotyping for estimating C-lineage introgression in the dark honeybee: an accurate and cost-effective SNP-based tool [PDF]

, 2018
The natural distribution of the honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) has been changed by humans in recent decades to such an extent that the formerly widest-spread European subspecies, Apis mellifera mellifera, is threatened by extinction through introgression

Secondary Compounds in Milkweed Nectar Negatively Impact Thermal Tolerance in Bumble Bees

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
This study shows that exposure to cardenolide toxins in floral nectar impacts heat tolerance in bumble bees at field‐realistic doses. Various honeys, aside from milkweed honey, did not impact heat tolerance in these bees. These data suggest that compounds in their diet may impact resilience of bees to global warming and that milkweed‐specialists may be

Multiomics Reveal Associations Between CpG Methylation, Histone Modifications and Transcription in a Species That has Lost DNMT3, the Colorado Potato Beetle

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 344, Issue 7, Page 454-469, November 2025.
Despite lacking DNMT3, EM‐seq revealed CpG methylation in the Colorado potato beetle. CUT&Tag analysis showed an association of H3K36me3 and H3K27ac with transcription, with H3K36me3 mirroring CpG methylation, demonstrating epigenetic flexibility.

Cash, Credit, or Kin? Financing Pathways and the Uneven Sustainability of Off‐Grid Solar Electrification in Tanzania and Malawi

Sustainable Development, Volume 33, Issue S1, Page 427-443, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Solar home systems (SHSs) are celebrated as a technological antidote to sub–Saharan Africa's chronic electricity deficits, yet the financial and social mechanisms that move them from warehouse to household remain underexplored. Drawing on 157 interviews with SHS owners in Tanzania and Malawi, this study examines the financial pathways used to ...
