A gene involved in foraging labor division was reused by the Asian honeybee population radiation and local adaptation.
Temperate honey bees (Apis mellifera) are challenged by low temperatures and abrupt dietary shifts associated with behavioral changes during winter. Case studies have revealed drastic turnover in the gut microbiota of winter bees, highlighted seasonal dominance a non-core bacterium Bartonella. However, neither biological consequence nor underlying mechanism this microbial is clear. In particular, we ask whether such profile related to shift possibly beneficial host microbiome? Here,...
Royal jelly, a honey bee secretion, plays critical role in caste determination bees because it serves as the source of nutrition for young larvae destined to become queens. It is also fed adult jelly possesses numerous functional properties and thus has been used medication, health food, cosmetic many countries. In this paper, we first introduce traditional method producing royal by artificial grafting newly developed that does not require larvae. We describe protocols storage freeze-drying...
Abstract Background The spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) has been global concern as one the greatest environmental threats. gut microbiome animals found to be a large reservoir ARGs, which is also an indicator spectrum. conserved microbiota makes honeybee tractable and confined ecosystem for studying maintenance transfer ARGs across bacteria. Although it that bacteria harbor diverse sets influences variables mechanism driving their distribution remain unclear. Results We...
Exploration of adaptive evolution organisms in response to environmental change can help understand the evolutionary history species and underlying mechanisms adaptation local environments, thus guiding future conservation programmes. Before introduction Apis mellifera China, eastern honey bees (Apis cerana) were only used for beekeeping this region. In mountains Changbai, populations A. cerana are considered a distinct ecotype which formed through selective pressures area over time.We...
Despite the urgent need for conservation consideration, strategic action plans preservation of Asian honeybee,
Honey and bumble bees are import pollinators, playing significant roles in the agricultural industry maintaining bio-ecosystem balance.Recently, it was found that harbor a simple, yet specific gut microbiota.The normal bee microbiota makes essential contributions to host growth, endocrine signaling, pathogen resistance.With development of high through-put sequencing technology, researchers can now quickly identify community structure for low cost.This is helpful biodiversity, conservation...
Abstract Background The gut microbiome is a crucial element that facilitates host’s adaptation to changing environment. Host-specificity often coincides with distinctions in microbes, suggesting co-evolution of the holobionts. However, it unclear how microbiota shared by common host ancestor would co-diversify hosts and eventually become distinct among sister hosts. In this context, understanding evolutionary pathway microbiomes same species could provide insight on holobionts co-adapt along...
Abstract Background: Exploration of adaptive evolution organisms in response to environmental change will offer us a hint the evolutionary history species and underlying mechanisms adaptation local environments, thus guiding future conservation programmes. Before introduction Apis mellifera China, cerana was only species, which could be reared captivity obtain products. Moreover, A. Changbai Mountain is ecotype such flora. Result: We investigated geometric morphological features by analysing...
