Transcriptome Analysis of the Asian Honey Bee Apis cerana cerana
BACKGROUND The Eastern hive honey bee, Apis cerana cerana is a native and widely bred honey bee species in China. Molecular biology research about this honey bee species is scarce, and genomic information for A. c. cerana is not currently available. Transcriptome and expression profiling data for this species are therefore important resources needed to better understand the biological mechanism...
متن کاملResolution and sensitivity of the eyes of the Asian honeybees Apis florea, Apis cerana and Apis dorsata.
Bees of the genus Apis are important foragers of nectar and pollen resources. Although the European honeybee, Apis mellifera, has been well studied with respect to its sensory abilities, learning behaviour and role as pollinators, much less is known about the other Apis species. We studied the anatomical spatial resolution and absolute sensitivity of the eyes of three sympatric species of Asian...
متن کاملDistributed nestmate recognition in ants
We propose a distributed model of nestmate recognition, analogous to the one used by the vertebrate immune system, in which colony response results from the diverse reactions of many ants. The model describes how individual behaviour produces colony response to non-nestmates. No single ant knows the odour identity of the colony. Instead, colony identity is defined collectively by all the ants i...
متن کاملHoneybee nestmate recognition
protein (pollen) and energy resources (honey) in a stock. Beside the pollen and the brood, it is the honey that attracts not only robbers like man, other mammals (e.g. bears and badgers) and other insects (e.g. wasps) but also bees of their own species. That is why honeybees developed their typical guarding behaviour (Butler and Free, 1952; Moore et al., 1987). Their ability to produce endother...
متن کاملContext affects nestmate recognition errors in honey bees and stingless bees.
Nestmate recognition studies, where a discriminator first recognises and then behaviourally discriminates (accepts/rejects) another individual, have used a variety of methodologies and contexts. This is potentially problematic because recognition errors in discrimination behaviour are predicted to be context-dependent. Here we compare the recognition decisions (accept/reject) of discriminators ...
