The role of genetic diversity in nest cooling in a wild honey bee, Apis florea.

Journal of comparative physiology. A, Neuroethology, sensory, neural, and behavioral physiology - 1 Feb 2007

Jones Julia C, Nanork Piyamas, Oldroyd Benjamin P

Abstract excerpt

Simulation studies of the task threshold model for task allocation in social insect colonies suggest that nest temperature homeostasis is enhanced if workers have slightly different thresholds for engaging in tasks related to nest thermoregulation. Genetic variance in task thresholds is one way a distribution of task thresholds can be generated. Apis mellifera colonies with large genetic diversity are able to...
