Six quantitative trait loci influence task thresholds for hygienic behaviour in honeybees (Apis mellifera).

Molecular ecology - 1 Apr 2010

Oxley Peter R, Spivak Marla, Oldroyd Benjamin P

Abstract excerpt

Honeybee hygienic behaviour provides colonies with protection from many pathogens and is an important model system of the genetics of a complex behaviour. It is a textbook example of complex behaviour under simple genetic control: hygienic behaviour consists of two components--uncapping a diseased brood cell, followed by removal of the contents--each of which are thought to be modulated independently by a few...
