Transcription profiling of honey bee brains exposed to alarm pheromone


ABSTRACT: We analyzed the changes in brain gene expression after alarm pheromone exposure. Bees from single-drone inseminated colonies were exposed to alarm pheromone at the hive entrance and collected 1h after exposure for analysis.

A prominent theory states that animal phenotypes arise by evolutionary changes in gene regulation, but the extent to which this theory holds true for behavioral evolution is not known. Because "nature and nurture" are now understood to involve hereditary and environmental influences on gene expression, we studied whether environmental influences on a behavioral phenotype, i.e., aggression, could have evolved into inherited differences via changes in gene expression. Here, with microarray analysi  ...[more]
