Insects show highly complicated adaptive and sophisticated behaviors, including spatial
orientation skills, learning ability, and social interaction. These behaviors are controlled by …

Across evolutionary lineages, insects vary in social complexity, from those that exhibit
extended parental care to those with elaborate divisions of labor. Here, we synthesize the …

Reconstruction of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from expression data is a significant
open problem. Common approaches train a machine learning (ML) model to predict a …

Single-cell techniques are a promising way to unravel the complexity and heterogeneity of
transcripts at the cellular level and to reveal the composition of different cell types and …

Bumblebees are essential pollinators of both wildflowers and crops and face multiple
anthropogenic stressors, particularly the utilization of pesticides. Rotenone is an extensively …

Recent advances in genomic technology, including the rapid development of long‐read
sequencing technology and single‐cell RNA‐sequencing methods, are poised to …

Hornets are the largest of the social wasps, and are important regulators of insect
populations in their native ranges. Hornets are also very successful as invasive species, with …

The sequencing of the honeybee genome in 2006 was an important technological and
logistic achievement experience. But what benefits have flown from the honeybee genome …

Phenotypic plasticity is a fundamental property of developing organisms and is thought to
play an important role in diversification. Plastic responses themselves are remarkably …
