The effect of maternal care on gene expression and DNA methylation in a subsocial bee
Nature Communications, 2018 Development may be plastic and influenced by parental care. Here, the authors show that experimental reduction of maternal care in the small carpenter bee leads to extensive changes in gene expression and splicing, minor changes in methylation, and ...

The effects of maternal care on the developmental transcriptome and metatranscriptome of a wild bee
Communications Biology, 2023 Maternal care acts as a strong environmental stimulus that can induce phenotypic plasticity in animals and may also alter their microbial communities through development.

A nesting aggregation of the solitary bee Megachile atrata (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) in the Philippines [PDF]
, 2017 A nesting aggregation of Megachile (Creightonella) atrata Smith in the Philippines comprised almost 300 active nests. The bees in rapid flight resemble the hornet Vespa tropica Linnaeus. The nest structure is similar to that reported for M.

Pigmentary colouration of hairy carpenter bees, genus Xylocopa
The Science of Nature, 2023 AbstractCarpenter bees can display distinct colouration patterns due to structural coloured wings and/or coloured hairs on their bodies. Females of the sexually dichromatic Xylocopa caerulea are marked by strongly blue-pigmented hairs on the head, thorax and abdomen. The thorax of female X. confusa is covered by yellow-pigmented hairs.

The Role of Landscapes and Landmarks in Bee Navigation: A Review. [PDF]
, 2019 The ability of animals to explore landmarks in their environment is essential to their fitness. Landmarks are widely recognized to play a key role in navigation by providing information in multiple sensory modalities. However, what is a landmark?

Honey bees rob flowers after observing conspecifics and carpenter bees
, 2023 Abstract Individuals may add to their behavioural repertoire by observing conspecifics, and possibly heterospecifics. Here we test Darwin’s intriguing hypothesis that honey bees rob nectar from flowers after observing the behaviour of other bees.
