TranscriptomicsRNA-sequencing elucidates the regulation of behavioural transitions associated with mating in honey bee queens
Mating is a complex process, which is frequently associated with behavioural and physiological changes. However, understanding of the genetic underpinnings of these changes is limited. Honey bees are both a model system in behavioural genomics, and the dominant managed pollinator of human crops; con...

TranscriptomicsRecipe for a busy bee: MicroRNAs in honey bee caste determination
Social caste determination in the honey bee is assumed to be determined by the dietary status of the young larvae and translated into physiological and epigenetic changes through nutrient-sensing pathways. We have employed Illumina/Solexa sequencing to examine the small RNA content in the bee larval...

TranscriptomicsSmall RNA expression and caste differentiation in the honeybee
Honeybees are very important eusocial insects and are involved in the pollination of many plants. Queen bees and worker bees develop from the same fertilized eggs, and are thus genetically identical despite their substantial behavioural and physiological differences. The mechanism governing developm...

TranscriptomicsCellular heterogeneity of the developing worker honey bee (Apis mellifera) pupa: a single cell transcriptomics analysis
It is estimated that animals pollinate 87.5% of flowering plants worldwide and that managed honey bees (Apis mellifera) account for 30-50% of this ecosystem service to agriculture. In addition to their important role as pollinators, honey bees are well-established insect models for studying learning...

TranscriptomicsSocial Regulation of Maternal Traits in Nest-Founding Bumble Bee (Bombus terrestris) Queens
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 ph...

TranscriptomicsFeeding with miR-184 affects the mRNA expression profile of queen larvae
By comparing mRNA profiles of the two groups of bee larvae (treated by miR-184 and water), we found that there were 279 mRNAs which were differently expressed between treated and control larvae (ratio>2 and p<0.01), of which 200 mRNAs were down-regulated in treated larvae, and 79 mRNAs were down-reg...

TranscriptomicsNutrigenomics in honey bees: the impact of pollen nutrients on bee health
We studied the molecular mechanisms underlying the impact of pollen nutrients on honey bee (Apis mellifera) health and how those nutrients improve resistance to parasites. Using digital gene expression, we determined the changes in gene expression induced by pollen intake in worker bees parasitized ...

TranscriptomicsTranscription profiling by array of honey bee queens Apis mellifera L. to investigate the differential effects of insemination volume and substance on reproductive changes
Mating causes dramatic changes in female insects at the behavioral, physiological, and molecular levels. The factors driving these changes (e.g., seminal proteins, seminal volume) and the molecular pathways by which these factors are operating have been characterized only in a handful of insect spe...

TranscriptomicsTranscription profiling of brains of adult honey bee workers (Apis mellifera) performing different behavioral tasks in the hive
This experiment examines gene expression profiles in the brains of adult honey bee workers (Apis mellifera) performing different behavioral tasks in the hive. The different behavioral groups examined were nurse, comb builder, guard, undertaker, and forager. The comb builder, guard, and undertaker be...

TranscriptomicsIndividual bee brain behavior-age
This experiment examines gene expression profiles in individual honey bee brains (adult worker Apis mellifera). The purpose is to test whether behavioral phenotype can be predicted by expression profiles in individual brains in a naturalistic context (i.e., colonies in the field). The two behavioral...
