Social task and aggressiveness shape immunity gene expression levels in the head of highly eusocial bees

2024-12-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Living in crowded perennial nests, social insects encounter high risks of disease outbreaks and predation on colony resources. The innate immune system plays an important barrier against microbial pathogens, but its association with group defensive behaviours remains unexplored. Here we investigated the expression of innate immune system genes in the workers of three species of Brazilian stingle...
