    Background Sociality has many rewards, but can also be dangerous, as high population density and low genetic diversity, common in social insects, is ideal for parasite transmission. Despite this risk, honeybees and other ...
  • Differential gene expression and alternative splicing in insect immune specificity 

    Riddell, Carolyn E.; Lobaton Garces, Juan D.; Adams, Sally; Barribeau, Seth M.; Twell, David; Mallon, Eamonn B. (2014-11)
    Background Ecological studies routinely show genotype-genotype interactions between insects and their parasites. The mechanisms behind these interactions are not clearly understood. Using the bumblebee Bombus terrestris ...

(2015-04-24)
    Background The shift from solitary to social behavior is one of the major evolutionary transitions. Primitively eusocial bumblebees are uniquely placed to illuminate the evolution of highly eusocial insect societies. ...
