Analysis of comb-gnawing behavior in Apis cerana cerana (Hymenoptera: Apidae). [PDF]

open access: yesJ Insect Sci
Abstract Apis cerana cerana exhibits a prominent biological trait known as comb gnawing. In this study, gnawed combs from colonies during different seasons were collected, investigating the comb age and locations of gnawing. Patterns of comb gnawing were recorded, and the effects of 2 factors, namely, comb type and season, on the mass of

Expression Patterns of Heat Shock Protein Genes and Antioxidase Genes in Apis cerana cerana (Hymenoptera: Apidae) under Heat Stress

open access: yesJournal of entomological science, 2023
Heat stress elicits the expression of various antistress proteins (e.g., heat shock proteins [HSPs] and antioxidase enzymes) in honeybees (Hymenoptera: Apidae), which are important in protecting cells from heat-induced stresses.

Molecular and phylogenetic characterization of honey bee viruses, Nosema microsporidia, protozoan parasites, and parasitic mites in China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
China has the largest number of managed honey bee colonies, which produce the highest quantity of honey and royal jelly in the world; however, the presence of honey bee pathogens and parasites has never been rigorously identified in Chinese apiaries.

Differential Expression Characterisation of the Heat Shock Proteins DnaJB6, DnaJshv, DnaJB13, and DnaJB14 in Apis cerana cerana Under Various Stress Conditions

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
As key pollinators, bees are frequently exposed to multiple environmental stresses and have developed crucial mechanisms by which they adapt to these stressors. However, the molecular bases mediated at the gene level remain to be discovered.

The Ratio of Sunflower Pollens Foraged by Apis mellifera Is More Than That of Apis cerana Does During Sunflower Blooming

open access: yesSociobiology, 2020
Bias foraging of pollen is general in different pollinators since various nutrition demanding, co-evolution and interaction of insect-plant. To clarify the preference of pollen foraging during sunflower blooming, the pollen foraging behaviors of Apis ...

Identification and functional characterization of AcerOBP15 from Apis cerana cerana (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

open access: yesApidologie, 2021
Coordination in honeybees is heavily dependent on their chemoreception system, in which odorant-binding proteins are very important. A previous study based on the antennal transcriptome of Apis cerana cerana revealed that OBP15 was significantly up-regulated at 25-day-old.

Genetic diversity of Apis cerana cerana based on mitochondrial DNA in Lishui, Zhejiang, China

open access: yes浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2017
Apis cerana cerana is a native honeybee species in China, which is widely distributed in all parts of the country, especially in the hills and mountains of the South China. Apis mellifera was introduced into China in the end of the 19th century.

Genetic Relationships and Signatures of Adaptation to the Climatic Conditions in Populations of Apis cerana Based on the Polymorphism of the Gene Vitellogenin

open access: yesInsects, 2022
Apis cerana and Apis mellifera are important honey bee species in Asia. A. cerana populations are distributed from a cold, sharply continental climate in the north to a hot, subtropical climate in the south.

Studies on the genetic diversity detected by RAPD in the offspring of the nutritional crossbreed between Apis cerana cerana and Apis mellifera ligustica

open access: yes浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2005
The experiments were conducted with Apis cerana cerana and Apis mellifera ligustica. In this study, nutritional hybridizations were carried out between Apis cerana cerana and Apis mellifera ligustica.

The draft genome sequence of the Japanese honey bee, Apis cerana japonica (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2018
Honey bees are not only important for honey production but also as pollinators of wild and cultivated plants. The Eastern honeybee (Apis cerana) is more resistant to several pathogens than the Western honeybee (Apis mellifera), and the genomes of two ...
