Chemical communication in the honeybee (Apis mellifera L.): a review
An important area of physiology of the honeybee ( Apis mellifera) is chemical communication between individuals and castes in the swarm, which maintains its integrity and function.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Parasitic Cape honeybee workers, Apis mellifera capensis, evade policing [PDF]
Relocation of the Cape honeybee, Apis mellifera capensis, by bee-keepers from southern to northern South Africa in 1990 has caused widespread death of managed African honeybee, A. m. scutellata, colonies.

The reproductive biology of the neophyte Prunus laurocerasus in Central Europe
We recorded flower visitors and seed consumers and conducted pollination experiments to improve our understanding of the degree of ecological integration of Prunus laurocerasus in the newly colonized range in Central Europe. We found that the reproductive ecology of P.

Analytical Study of Hexapod miRNAs using Phylogenetic Methods [PDF]
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression. Identification of total number of miRNAs even in completely sequenced organisms is still an open problem. However, researchers have been using techniques that can predict limited number of miRNA in an organism.

How to model honeybee population dynamics: stage structure and seasonality [PDF]
Western honeybees (Apis Mellifera) serve extremely important roles in our ecosystem and economics as they are responsible for pollinating $ 215 billion dollars annually over the world. Unfortunately, honeybee population and their colonies have been declined dramatically.

Effects of Flight on Gene Expression and Aging in the Honey Bee Brain and Flight Muscle [PDF]
Honey bees move through a series of in-hive tasks (e.g., “nursing”) to outside tasks (e.g., “foraging”) that are coincident with physiological changes and higher levels of metabolic activity.

More than fruity scents: Pollination biology, scent, and spectral reflectance of Annonaceae species
We characterised the floral visual and olfactory cues of numerous Annonaceae species and reported their pollinators. We further assessed the olfactory space of most Annonaceae species available in the literature. Abstract The family Annonaceae possesses a broad array of floral phenotypes and pollination specializations, and are important in the plant ...

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