Honey bee queen spermathecal fluid at three adult life stages

ABSTRACT: Spermathecal fluid was extracted from adult queens at two different life stages (virgins and mated 2 week old) and separated from sperm by centrifugation. Queens were all sourced from the same grafting event and mated on the same schedule. Virgin queens were 2 days old at sampling. Some mated 2 week old queens were then held in a queen bank for a further two weeks (final age = 4 weeks), creating three groups of queens. Unbanked mated 2 week old queens were actively ovipositing, whereas banked mated queens were not actively laying.

Hemolymph of queen honey bees at different reproductive stages

Project description:Hemolymph samples were taken from queens at different ages and reproductive stages: Virgins (0-2 d old), newly mated (10-12 d old), established mated (1 month old) and banked mated (1 month old but held in a queen bank for 18 d, which restricts laying).

Effects of mating on gene expression profiles of mature ant queens

Project description:Will be added/updated once the manuscript is finalized. Cardiocondyla obscurior queens. Three treatments: virgin queens, queens mated by real males, queens sham-mated (by sterile males). Queens collected 1 week and 8 week after mating. seven loops for queens collected 1 week after mating; nine loops for queens collected 8 weeks after mating. Five direct comparisons (with dye-swaps... so 10 arrays) were done of between 1 week and 8 week samples of queens mated by real males. Each sample is RNA from two queens (from different colonies). Samples were hybridized against Solenopsis invicta microarrays (signal was detectable for most clones!)

Honey bee heat-shock proteomics

Project description:Honey bee colonies were maintained in an apiary at the University of British Columbia. During the summer of 2018, 40 queens were reared from a single colony and half were allowed to open mate, while the other half were kept as virgins in plastic queen cages. Two weeks after emergence, the virgin queens were given two, eight-minute carbon dioxide treatments on 2 sequential days, then re-introduced to their nucleus colonies. This process stimulates virgin queens to begin laying71, and we conducted these treatments in order to minimize the physiological differences between virgin and mated queens. Virgin and mated queens were retrieved from their nucleus colonies and half of each (10) were subjected to heat-shock (42 ͦC, 2 h), and then maintained at 30 ͦC for 2 d. The other half were held only at 30 ͦC for 2 d. Four to six weeks after mating, the queens were anesthetized with carbon dioxide, beheaded, then their spermathecae (including the tracheal net) were removed with fine forceps. Both ovaries were also removed and weighed. During the same summer, 200 drones from a different colony in the same apiary were collected and maintained in the laboratory overnight at ambient temperature with excess syrup (50% sucrose). The next day, semen was harvested with glass capillaries according to the methods described above. Because many drones were not sexually mature, 60 semen samples (out of the 200 drones) were collected. Capillaries were placed in petri dishes and half (30) were heat-shocked as described above, then kept at 25 ͦC for 2 d. The other half were only kept at 25 ͦC for 2 d. Ten samples from each experimental group were used for sperm viability assays as described above.

Paternal methamphetamine exposure differentially affects first and second generations in mice

Project description:To determine whether paternal methamphetamine exposure alters the development, behavior and gene expression of first (F1) and second (F2) generations. We administrated methamphetamine (5 mg/kg) or saline (10 ml/kg) to sire (F0) and performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of striatum of 7-week-old male F1 mice. Male F1 mice were mated with untreated female mice to obtain F2 mice. Male F1 mice were mated with female mice to obtain F2 mice. RNA-seq of striatum of 7-week-old male F2 mice was also analyzed in the same way.

Atta columbica seminal fluid and spermathecal fluid proteome

Project description:Mature males and virgin queens from Atta colombica ants were collected in panama, and their seminal fluid (SF) and spermathecal fluid (SpF), respectively, were extracted and analysed by shot-gun proteomics. For this, using a pooled SF sample of 25 males from five colonies, squeezing their abdomens to collect 2-4ul of ejaculate per male from the extended endophallus. The SF supernatant was collected from the pooled ejaculate after 2 centrifugations for10 min at 13,000xg. The Spf was obtained form 4 different colonies collecting 10 virgin queens per colony and “artificially inseminating them with 10ul of Hayes. All 40 queens were allowed to recover for 12 hours before retrieving the content by dissecting and rupturing the spermathecal in Hayes. The samples were vortexed for 3 min, followed by centrifugation for 3 min at 13,500 xg to separate SpF from tissue.

Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals critical genes/pathways related yolk precursor synthesis in livers of Guangxi Ma chicken with different egg laying rate

Project description:Liver tissues of Guangxi Ma chicken from 32-week old with m performance, 50-week old with high and low laying performance, and 72-week old with high and low laying performance were collected and sequenced in quadruplicate using RNA-seq. The sequences were double-ended sequenced on the DNBSEQ sequencing platform. The sequence reads were quality controlled and then aligned with genomic sequences using HISAT2 program, quantified by featureCounts program, and gene expression levels were verified by qRT-PCR with SYBR Green detection. The results will be helpful to explore the factors that affecting laying performance from the perspective of yolk synthesis and provide a theoretical basis for improving the egg production of Guangxi Ma chicken.

Social Regulation of Maternal Traits in Nest-Founding Bumble Bee (Bombus terrestris) Queens

Project description:During the nest-founding phase of the bumble bee colony cycle, queens undergo striking changes in maternal care behavior. Early in the founding phase, prior to the emergence of workers in the nest, queens are reproductive and also provision and feed their offspring. However, later in the founding phase, queens cease feeding offspring and become specialized on reproduction. This transition is synchronized with the emergence of workers in the colony, who assume the task of feeding their siblings. Using a social manipulation experiment, we tested the hypothesis that workers socially regulate the transition from feeding brood to specialization on reproduction in nest-founding bumble bee queens. Consistent with this hypothesis, we found that early-stage queens with workers prematurely added to their nests reduce their brood-feeding behavior and increase egg-laying, and likewise, late-stage queens increase their brood-feeding behavior and decrease egg-laying when workers are removed from their nests. Further, brood-feeding and egg-laying behavior were negatively correlated in these queens. We used an Agilent brain EST-based microarray to explore a second hypothesis, that workers alter brain gene expression in nest-founding queens. We found evidence that brain gene expression in nest-founding queens is altered by the presence of workers, with the effect much stronger in late-stage founding queens. Additionally, expression levels of some genes were correlated with quantitative differences in brood-feeding and egg-laying behavior. This study provides new insights into how the transition from feeding brood to specialization on reproduction in bumble bee queens is regulated during the nest initiation phase of the colony cycle.
