Whole-Genome Resequencing−Based Qualitative Trait Locus Mapping Correlated yellow with the Mutant Color in Honeybees, Apis cerana cerana

Animals
The honeybee, Apis cerana cerana (Ac), is an important pollinator and has adapted to the local ecological environment with relevant coloration. The cuticle coloration of the brown (br) mutant is brown instead of black in wild−type individuals. Therefore,

Agxt2l-mediated glycerophospholipid metabolism in trophocytes explains Apis mellifera queen’s higher oviposition over A. cerana

Communications Biology
Apis mellifera and Apis cerana are two important honey bee species widely kept and studied. But their queens differ greatly in egg-laying capacity. To determine the mechanisms of this difference, we compare gene expression, chromatin accessibility and ...

Sensory memory for odors is encoded in spontaneous correlated activity between olfactory glomeruli [PDF]

, 2006
Sensory memory is a short-lived persistence of a sensory stimulus in the nervous system, such as iconic memory in the visual system. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying olfactory sensory memory.

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

A Survey from 2015 to 2019 to Investigate the Occurrence of Pesticide Residues in Dead Honeybees and Other Matrices Related to Honeybee Mortality Incidents in Italy

Diversity, 2019
Honeybee health can be compromised not only by infectious and infesting diseases, but also by the acute or chronic action of certain pesticides. In recent years, there have been numerous reports of colony mortality by Italian beekeepers, but the ...

Real-time PCR biochip for on-site detection of Coxiella burnetii in ticks

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Q fever, a zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii, has adverse effects on public health. Ticks are vectors of C. burnetii and they contribute to the transmission of the pathogen. A tool for rapid, sensitive, and accurate detection of C. burnetii

Heterogeneous Wettability‐Based Construction of Two‐Phase Interfaces for Underwater Reversible Adhesion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The design employs heterogeneous wettability surfaces that construct stable oil‐water interfaces to achieve robust and rapid reversible adhesion. Linear enhancement of adhesion strength is realized through multi‐interface patterning. This adhesive enables rapid on‐demand detachment within five seconds via voltage‐induced electrolysis, offering a level ...
