The transformer gene controls sexual development in Drosophila suzukii
Insect Science, EarlyView.The transformer gene plays a key role in the genetic pathway for sexual development in Drosophila suzukii Abstract The genetic network of sex determination in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster was investigated in great detail. Such knowledge not only advances our understanding of the evolution and regulation of sexual dimorphism in insects ...

Discriminations of Color and Pattern on Artificial Flowers by Male and Female Bumble Bees, \u3ci\u3eBombus Impatiens\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Apidae) [PDF]
, 2018 This study examined the performance of male bumble bees (Bombus impatiens) in color and pattern discriminations and compared it to that of female bees. Bees were trained to forage from rewarding (S+) and unrewarding (S-) artificial flowers which differed

Genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of buff‐tailed bumblebees in Asia
Insect Science, EarlyView.This study investigates the genetic differentiation and local adaptation of the buff‐tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) across its European and Asian populations. Using whole‐genome resequencing, we identified distinct genetic differences between populations, with Asian B. terrestris representing a unique genetic resource.

Evidence of forage distance limitations for small bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2015 The distribution of ground-nesting bees was investigated using transects of water traps in a mosaic of nesting and forage habitats at Shotover Hill in Oxfordshire, UK. The site includes a large area of ground-nesting bee activity and is adjoined on three

Physicochemical characteristics of organic honey samples of africanized honeybees from Paraná River islands. [PDF]
, 2011 This research was carried out to evaluate the physicochemical composition of organic honey in Paraná River islands, in Porto Brasílio, State of Paraná. Honey was harvested directly from super of the colonies in three apiaries spread in the Floresta and ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Plant–pollinator interactions are fundamental to the functioning of natural ecosystems and the enhancement of agricultural productivity. An effective support of pollinator communities necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying pollinator attraction and nutritional preferences.

The Genome and Methylome of a Subsocial Small Carpenter Bee, Ceratina calcarata [PDF]
, 2016 Understanding the evolution of animal societies, considered to be a major transition in evolution, is a key topic in evolutionary biology. Recently, new gateways for understanding social evolution have opened up due to advances in genomics, allowing for ...
