Identification of Multiple Loci Associated with Social Parasitism in Honeybees.

PLoS genetics - 1 Jun 2016

Wallberg Andreas, Pirk Christian W, Allsopp Mike H, Webster Matthew T

Abstract excerpt

In colonies of the honeybee Apis mellifera, the queen is usually the only reproductive female, which produces new females (queens and workers) by laying fertilized eggs. However, in one subspecies of A. mellifera, known as the Cape bee (A. m. capensis), worker bees reproduce asexually by thelytoky, an abnormal form of meiosis where two daughter nucleii fuse to form single diploid eggs, which develop into females...
