ABSTRACT Epigenetic modifications to DNA are proposed to underpin plastic responses to environmental change, and the manner in which DNA methylation contributes to plasticity likely differs among tissues. However, few studies have investigated tissue‐specific DNA methylation responses to ecologically relevant environmental stressors in natural settings.

Heritability of hygienic behavior in grey honey bees (Apis mellifera carnica) [PDF]
Breeding grey A. m. carnica queens for hygienic behavior is beneficial for commercial beekeeping in Serbia, since hygienic behavior is associated with the resistance to the mite Varroa destructor, as well as to American foulbrood and chalk brood. In this work, heritability of hygienic behavior was analyzed in autochthonous grey A. m. carnica honey bees
