Metabolic Rate Diversity Shapes Group Performance in Honeybees.

The American naturalist - 1 May 2022

Mugel Stephen G, Naug Dhruba

Abstract excerpt

AbstractThe metabolic theory of ecology posits that the functional properties at any level of biological organization are a function of the metabolic rate (MR) of its constituent units, although we know little about how heterogeneity among them shapes group-level performance. Using honeybees as a model system, we leveraged the differences in MR associated with "slow" and "fast" malate dehydrogenase alleles to...
