Shift work has a genetic basis in honeybee pollen foragers (Apis mellifera L.).

Behavior genetics - 1 Mar 2011

Kraus F Bernhard, Gerecke Eve, Moritz Robin F A

Abstract excerpt

Division of labour is a fundamental property of any social system. The specialization of different individuals in different tasks increases the overall work performance and efficiency. Specialization is thought to be the very foundation of the success of human societies but also in complex colonies of social insects. In human societies an advanced form of division of labour, especially since the...
