A genetic analysis of the stinging and guarding behaviors of the honey bee.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jul 2012

Shorter John R, Arechavaleta-Velasco Miguel, Robles-Rios Carlos, Hunt Greg J

Abstract excerpt

In order to identify genes that are influencing defensive behaviors, we have taken a new approach by dissecting colony-level defensive behavior into individual behavioral measurements using two families containing backcross workers from matings involving European and Africanized bees. We removed the social context from stinging behavior by using a laboratory assay to measure the stinging response of individual...
