Gene expression and epigenetics reveal species-specific mechanisms acting upon common molecular pathways in the evolution of task division in bees
A striking feature of advanced insect societies is the existence of workers that forgo
reproduction. Two broad types of workers exist in eusocial bees: nurses who care for their …

Natural plasticity in circadian rhythms is mediated by reorganization in the molecular clockwork in honeybees
Various animals naturally switch to considerable periods of around‐the‐clock activity with no
apparent ill effects. Such plasticity in overt circadian rhythms might be observed because the …
