Multi‐Omic Analysis Reveals Population Differentiation and Signatures of Social Evolution in Tetragonula Stingless Bees

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stingless bees in the genus Tetragonula are social insects with a fully sterile worker caste, and are therefore well‐placed to provide insights into the genomic changes associated with ‘superorganismal’ life histories. Here we assemble the genome of Tetragonula carbonaria and characterise the population structure and divergence of both T ...

Why “Real men don't speak French”: Deconstructing cultural attitudes to a language by historicizing their discursive formations

open access: yesThe Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Guided by Foucault's concept of “discursive formations,” the study reported here draws on primary archival and secondary source material to examine how French has been discursively shaped in England and in relation to English. Unpacking sociohistorical constructions of sameness–difference offers a productive frame to explore ideological ...

Off‐target drift of the herbicide dicamba disrupts plant–pollinator interactions via novel pathways

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary While herbicide use in agriculture is expected to have many effects on surrounding weed communities, it is largely unknown how plant exposure to sublethal doses of herbicide may subsequently impact plant–pollinator interactions. We tested the hypothesis that sublethal herbicide exposure indirectly alters plant–pollinator interactions through ...

Plants, Pollinators and Pheromones: Promises and Lies of Semiochemicals

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pollination is traditionally regarded as a quintessential mutualism, yet many plants employ deceptive strategies to achieve reproductive success. Among the most intriguing is sexual deception, wherein flowers mimic the sex pheromones and visual signals of female insects to attract male pollinators—without providing any reward.

Transcriptomic analysis of the mandibular gland genes associated with reproductive dominance in Apis mellifera capensis Esch. parasitic workers

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Biosynthesis of the fatty acid components of the Apis mellifera mandibular gland pheromones takes place in a stepwise manner. Differential gene expression in the mandibular gland tissue of workers from two subspecies of African honey bees with differing reproductive potentials and at two age groups was investigated.
