Microbial Evolution in Allodapine Bees: Perspectives From Trophallactic, Socially Plastic Pollinators. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT This review seeks a deeper functional understanding of wild bee microbiomes by focusing on a tribe of bees where natural history and behavioral ecology are well known but investigations of microbiology are just beginning. Opportunities to improve our future knowledge of pathogens to insect pollinators are explored—which have broad ...

Five decades of misunderstanding in the social Hymenoptera: a review and meta‐analysis of Michener's paradox

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 4, Page 1559-1611, August 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT In a much‐cited 1964 paper entitled “Reproductive efficiency in relation to colony size in hymenopterous societies,” Charles Michener investigated the correlation between a colony's size and its reproductive efficiency – the ability of its adult females to produce reproductives, measured as per‐capita output. Based on his analysis of published

The ant abdomen: The skeletomuscular and soft tissue anatomy of Amblyopone australis workers (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 283, Issue 6, Page 693-770, June 2022., 2022
The ant abdomen is critically understudied, despite its functional, evolutionary, and systematic importance. Using physical dissection, scanning electron microscope, histology, and microcomputed tomography, we provide the first complete treatment of the skeletomusculature, exocrine glands, and other major organs of the abdomen.

Conservation insights from wild bee genetic studies: Geographic differences, susceptibility to inbreeding, and signs of local adaptation

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1485-1496, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Conserving bees are critical both ecologically and economically. Genetic tools are valuable for monitoring these vital pollinators since tracking these small, fast‐flying insects by traditional means is difficult. By surveying the current state of the literature, this review discusses how recent advances in landscape genetic and genomic ...
