Molecular tools and bumble bees: revealing hidden details of ecology and evolution in a model system.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jun 2015

Woodard S Hollis, Lozier Jeffrey D, Goulson David, Williams Paul H, Strange James P, Jha Shalene

Abstract excerpt

Bumble bees are a longstanding model system for studies on behaviour, ecology and evolution, due to their well-studied social lifestyle, invaluable role as wild and managed pollinators, and ubiquity and diversity across temperate ecosystems. Yet despite their importance, many aspects of bumble bee biology have remained enigmatic until the rise of the genetic and, more recently, genomic eras. Here, we review and...
