Evolution of ageing, costs of reproduction and the fecundity-longevity trade-off in eusocial insects. [PDF]

, 2017
Eusocial insects provide special opportunities to elucidate the evolution of ageing as queens have apparently evaded costs of reproduction and reversed the fecundity-longevity trade-off generally observed in non-social organisms.

Novel eDNA approaches to monitor Western honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) microbial and arthropod communities

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–February 2024.
This paper presents the development of eDNA metabarcoding for early detection and monitoring of honey bee pests and pathogens. We sampled 13 sources for eDNA within and outside hives from our test apiary to determine where the most informative eDNA could be obtained.

Direct tests of haplodiploid inheritance in Thrips tabaci (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) using parent-offspring SSR-GBS

European Journal of Entomology
Haplodiploidy is a sex determination system in which males are haploid and females are diploid. In the typical haplodiploid system, females inherit half of their genome from each parent, whereas males inherit a haploid genome exclusively from their ...

Heritable symbionts in a world of varying temperature [PDF]

, 2016
Heritable microbes represent an important component of the biology, ecology and evolution of many plants, animals and fungi, acting as both parasites and partners. In this review, we examine how heritable symbiont–host interactions may alter host thermal
