Expressional and functional interactions of two Apis cerana cerana olfactory receptors [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Apis cerana cerana relies on the sensitive olfactory system to perform the foraging activities in the surrounding environment. Olfactory receptors (ORs) are a primary requirement for odorant recognition and coding. However, the molecular recognition of volatile with olfactory receptor in Apis cerana cerana is still not clear.

Combined Toxic Effects of Lead and Glyphosate on Apis cerana cerana. [PDF]
InsectsGlyphosate (GY) is the most widely used herbicide in agriculture worldwide. Lead is a common heavy metal in the natural environment. Honeybees, as pollinators, are exposed to these pollutants. So far, few reports have evaluated the toxic effects of GY mixed with heavy metals on honeybees (Apis cerana cerana). This study found that the acute toxicity of
