Evidence for convergent nucleotide evolution and high allelic turnover rates at the complementary sex determiner (csd) gene of western and Asian honey bees [PDF]

, 2008
Our understanding of the impact of recombination, mutation, genetic drift and selection on the evolution of a single gene is still limited. Here we investigate the impact of all of these evolutionary forces at the complementary sex determiner (csd) gene ...

Evolution of Phospholipase A2 in Bees and Flies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study investigated the evolution of the PLA2 gene in bees and flies and compared the evolutionary rate between them, which denotes the toxic group and the non‐toxic group. The results showed that PLA2 was under purifying selection and that an accelerated evolution of PLA2 occurred in the toxic group when compared with the non‐toxic group ...

Stress in dipteran insects mass‐reared for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1495-1523, October 2025.
The connections between biotic and abiotic stress affecting mass‐reared dipteran insects and the associated stress and immunological responses. Numbers indicate the order in which the topics are discussed in this review. Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism.

Evidence of Apis cerana Sacbrood virus Infection in Apis mellifera [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2016
ABSTRACT Sacbrood virus (SBV) is one of the most destructive viruses in the Asian honeybee Apis cerana but is much less destructive in Apis mellifera . In previous studies, SBV isolates infecting A. cerana (AcSBV) and SBV isolates infecting

The State of Beekeeping in India: Insights, Gaps, and Emerging Opportunities

Entomological Research, Volume 55, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT India's beekeeping industry primarily revolves around two domesticated honey bee species, Apis cerana and A. mellifera, which are central to commercial beekeeping. In addition, there are four wild honey bee species—A. dorsata, A. laboriosa (sympatric with A. dorsata), A. florea, and A. andreniformis (sympatric with A.
