The Queen Gut Refines with Age: Longevity Phenotypes in a Social Insect Model

2018-04-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> In social insects, identical genotypes can show extreme lifespan variation providing a unique perspective on age-associated microbial succession. In honey bees, short and long-lived host phenotypes are polarized by a suite of age-associated factors including hormones, nutrition, immune senescence and oxidative stress. Similar to other model organisms, the aging gut microbiota of short-lived (w...
