Predictive Markers of Honey Bee Colony Collapse
Across the Northern hemisphere, managed honey bee colonies, Apis mellifera, are currently affected by abrupt depopulation during winter and many factors are suspected to be involved, either alone or in combination. Parasites and pathogens are considered as principal actors, in particular the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor, associated viruses and the microsporidian Nosema ceranae. Here we ...
متن کاملCould Navigation Be the Key to Language?
This article analyses navigation and language parsing as two instances of the same abstract computation, and suggests that the tool needed may have evolved to serve the former task, and was then reused for the latter. Supporting evidence for the idea, based on the authors’ concept of ‘songline’ navigation, is discussed in the context of current linguistic, psychological and neuroscience researc...
متن کاملIAPV, a bee-affecting virus associated with Colony Collapse Disorder can be silenced by dsRNA ingestion.
Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) has been associated with Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV). CCD poses a serious threat to apiculture and agriculture as a whole, due to the consequent inability to provide the necessary amount of bees for pollination of critical crops. Here we report on RNAi-silencing of IAPV infection by feeding bees with double-stranded RNA, as an efficient and feasible way o...
متن کاملColony Collapse Disorder (CCD) and bee age impact honey bee pathophysiology
Honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies continue to experience high annual losses that remain poorly explained. Numerous interacting factors have been linked to colony declines. Understanding the pathways linking pathophysiology with symptoms is an important step in understanding the mechanisms of disease. In this study we examined the specific pathologies associated with honey bees collected from ...
متن کاملGreenlandic gene could be key to beating obesity
Health[1] Health[1]Diabetes [2]Greenland Science Special [3]Health [4]Obesity [5]Denmark [6]Videnskab.dk [7] The Inuit people carry a genetic variant, which increases their risk of developing obesity and type 2 diabetes. Among the Greenlandic Inuit, scientists have identified a variation of a gene, which could lead the way to a cure for obesity. The ADCY3 variant increases the body mass index (...
