Special recipe from pollens for the caste determination of honeybees [PDF]
ExRNA, 2019 Honeybee caste differentiation is regulated by multiple factors. Here we comment an article published on August 31, 2017, Plos Genetics, which show that miRNAs from pollen may affect honeybee caste formation.

The genus Lepisiota Santschi, 1926 of the Arabian Peninsula with the description of a new species, Lepisiota elbazi sp. nov. from Oman, an updated species identification key, and assessment of zoogeographic affinities [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2020 This study updates and summarizes information on the taxonomy and status of the Arabian Lepisiota fauna. We describe and illustrate the new species Lepisiota elbazi sp. nov. from the Dhofar Governorate, Oman based on the worker caste.
