Morphometric Identification of Queens, Workers and Intermediates in In Vitro Reared Honey Bees (Apis mellifera)
In vitro rearing is an important and useful tool for honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) studies. However, it often results in intercastes between queens and workers, which are normally are not seen in hive-reared bees, except when larvae older than three days are grafted for queen rearing. Morphological classification (queen versus worker or intercastes) of bees produced by this method can be subjec...
متن کاملFurther characterization of honey bees from the Iberian Peninsula by allozyme, morphometric and mtDNA haplotype analyses
It has been proposed that the Iberian Peninsula served as an important refuge for honey bees during periods of European glaciation. The discovery of genetic markers originating from both African and European honey bee lineages in extant Iberian populations led to hypotheses that the region may be a zone of hybridization or reflect the action of human-assisted translocations. In the present stud...
متن کاملDeformed wing virus can be transmitted during natural mating in honey bees and infect the queens
Deformed wing virus is an important contributor to honey bee colony losses. Frequently queen failure is reported as a cause for colony loss. Here we examine whether sexual transmission during multiple matings of queens is a possible way of virus infection in queens. In an environment with high prevalence of deformed wing virus, queens (n = 30) were trapped upon their return from natural mating ...
متن کاملSexual dimorphism and population differentiation in the Chilean Neotropical moth Macaria mirthae (Lepidoptera, Geometridae): a wing geometric morphometric example
Sexual shape dimorphism is the differentiation of male and female organisms based on their shape variation; this definition was proposed for the use of geometric morphometrics analysis where the geometric features of the shape are analyzed without the influence of the size. Macaria mirthae (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) is a moth that inhabits different valleys in the north of Chile principally ass...
متن کاملQuantitative patterns of vertical transmission of deformed wing virus in honey bees.
Deformed wing virus (DWV) is an important pathogen in a broad range of insects, including honey bees. Concordant with the spread of Varroa, DWV is present in the majority of honey bee colonies and can result in either low-level infections with asymptomatic bees that nonetheless exhibit increased colony loss under stress, or high-level infections with acute effects on bee health and viability. D...
