Absence of Nepotism in Waggle Communication of Honeybees (Apis mellifera)
Journal of Apicultural Science, 2020 The polyandrous mating behavior of the honeybee queen increases the genetic variability among her worker offspring and the workers of particular subfamilies tend to have a genetic predisposition for tasks preference.

Utility of ultra-rapid real-time PCR for detection and prevalence of Rickettsia spp. in ticks
BMC Veterinary Research, 2022 Background Rickettsia spp. are important tick-borne pathogens that cause various human and animal diseases worldwide. A tool for rapid and accurate detection of the pathogens from its vectors is necessary for prevention of Rickettsioses propagation in ...

The Waggle Dance as an Intended Flight: A Cognitive Perspective [PDF]
, 2019 The notion of the waggle dance simulating a flight towards a goal in a walking pattern has been proposed in the context of evolutionary considerations. Behavioral components, like its arousing effect on the social community, the attention of hive mates ...

Changes in Alternative Splicing in Apis Mellifera Bees Fed Apis Cerana Royal Jelly
Journal of Apicultural Science, 2014 The Western honey bee (Apis mellifera) is a social insect characterized by caste differentiation in which the queen bee and worker bees display marked differences in morphology, behavior, reproduction, and longevity despite their identical genomes.

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.Abstract Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) are an important class of insects that are the most beneficial in terms of economy. Beeswax is the second most important bee products after honey. Its commercial importance is due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and antiseptic as well as regenerative properties.

Forager bees (Apis mellifera) highly express immune and detoxification genes in tissues associated with nectar processing. [PDF]
, 2015 Pollinators, including honey bees, routinely encounter potentially harmful microorganisms and phytochemicals during foraging. However, the mechanisms by which honey bees manage these potential threats are poorly understood.

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...
