Genetics of reproduction and regulation of honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) social behavior.

Annual review of genetics - 1 Jan 2012

Page Robert E, Rueppell Olav, Amdam Gro V

Abstract excerpt

Honeybees form complex societies with a division of labor for reproduction, nutrition, nest construction and maintenance, and defense. How does it evolve? Tasks performed by worker honeybees are distributed in time and space. There is no central control over behavior and there is no central genome on which selection can act and effect adaptive change. For 22 years, we have been addressing these questions by...
