A study of cellular proliferation and apoptosis in short- and long-lived honey bees, Apis mellifera 2007 2864 "Replicative senescence and apoptosis are two cellular processes that have been linked repeatedly to life expectancy in many organisms. However, aging research at the cellular level in the novel model Apis mellifera (honey bees) has been limited. Thi...
Genomic synteny and comparison of recombination between Apis mellifera (the European honey bee) and Apis florea (the red dwarf honey bee) 2009 2462 In all sexually reproducing organisms meiotic recombination increases genetic diversity among offspring and creates new genomes through chromosomal reconfiguration. The rate at which recombination occurs varies among and within species. Recombination...
The genetic architecture of reproductive differences in workers of Africanized and European honey bees, Apis mellifera 2009 1931 The Western Honeybee (Apis mellifera) displays a special form of social behavior called eusociality. The evolution of its reproductively specialized castes and social behavior from a solitary ancestor may be explained by the reproductive ground plan ...
Expression levels of immune-genes in developing workers of Apis mellifera in response to reproductive timing and infestation level by the parasitic mite Varroa destructor 2012 6050 The parasitic mite Varroa destructor is one of the biggest health problems of the Western Honey Bee, Apis mellifera. It feeds from the bees' hemolymph and vectors several honey bee pathogens. V. destructor has also been reported to compromise honey b...
Development and analysis of primary cultures from the midgut of the honey bee, Apis mellifera 2012 5501 The European honey bee, Apis mellifera, is an important research species of tremendous agricultural and economic importance. However, relatively few in vitro techniques are described for investigating honey bee physiology at the cell...
Testing the effects of oxidative stress on genomic recombination in the honey bee, Apis mellifera 2014 1198 It has become increasingly evident that genomic recombination is an evolved trait that varies between and within species. The honey bee has an extremely high genomic recombination rate but the responsible mechanisms have not been studied. Based on th...
Construction and fine-scale analysis of a high-density, genome-wide linkage map to examine meiotic recombination in the honey bee, Apis mellifera 2014 1074 The western honey bee, A. mellifera , is an important biological model organism in research for ecological and behavioral studies in addition to molecular studies. Honey bees are also imperative in nature for reproduction and diversi...
An investigation of the relationships between common stressors, brood-signaling, hygienic behavior, and selective breeding in the Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) 2015 665 Despite the importance of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) to scientific advancement, food security and natural ecosystems, managed honey bee colonies are dying at alarming rates in much of the Northern Hemisphere. Recent declines are largely attribute...
An investigation of the long-term effects of early developmental stress exposure in the Honeybee (Apis mellifera) 2019 159 Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are organisms of an utmost importance to scientific advancement, food security and agricultural systems. Unfortunately, managed honeybee colonies are dying at alarming rates in much of the Northern Hemisphere, particularly ...
Israeli acute paralysis virus impact on Apis mellifera queens’ attractiveness, transmission routes, and trans-generational immune priming 2016 492 European honey bees (Apis mellifera) are economically and ecologically important due to the large-scale pollination service they offer a myriad of plant species. In 2015, honey bee pollination augmented crop value in the United States by 15 billion d...
Increased stress resistance in socially manipulated Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) workers 2018 247 General life history theory suggests a trade-off between somatic maintenance and reproduction. However, in the honey bee, and other social insects, reproduction increases lifespan. The mechanisms for this positive relation between antagonistic demand...
Investigating the effect of xenobiotics on honeybee intestinal stem cell proliferation 2012 1141 Over the past decades, the number of managed honeybee colonies in the United States has been declining. One hypothesis proposed to explain the decline is that exposure to xenobiotics might affect bee health without killing the bees directly. The gut ...
Examining the factors influencing Varroa destructor host selection of Apis mellifera larvae 2018 215 The European honey bee, Apis mellifera, is a vital species for agriculture, providing pollination for crops all around the world. Recent declines in honey bee health have been concerning, and the spread of the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor is ...
