Expression of elongase- and desaturase-encoding genes shapes the cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of honey bees

This study examines gene expression of elongase- and desaturase-encoding genes in honey bees and links it to cuticular hydrocarbon profiles across task groups and subspecies.

Deciphering the variation in cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of six European honey bee subspecies

The paper compares cuticular hydrocarbon profiles across six European honey bee subspecies to assess adaptation to climate and social roles, finding subspecies-specific differences and task-related variations.

Using a combination of CRISPR/Cas9, behavioural experiments and functional analysis to characterise taste receptors in honeybees

The paper identifies the distinct roles of three gustatory receptors in honeybee sugar sensing using CRISPR/Cas9, electrophysiology, and behavior.

Comparing the appetitive learning performance of six European honeybee subspecies in a common apiary

This study compares appetitive learning performance of six European honeybee subspecies in a common apiary, finding that A. m. iberiensis performed significantly worse despite similar sucrose responsiveness.
