Chemical Manipulation of Honey Bee Behavior
The loss of managed honey bee colonies, resulting from their unintentional exposure to pesticides, is a topic of concern for the agricultural and apicultural industry. Current methods for reducing pesticide exposure to bees involve the application of pesticides before crop bloom or in the evening …

EXPERIENCE-DEPENDENT STRUCTURAL PLASTICITY IN A NATURALLY BEHAVING ANIMAL MODEL
… neuron's structure may lead to changes in future behavior via altered processing of sensory stimuli. The following chapters of this dissertation are aimed at identifying signaling pathways that control structural plasticity in the Kenyon cells of the worker honey bee brain correlated with foraging …

Molecular analyses of endocrine and nutritional factors that affect division of labor and health in honey bees (Apis mellifera)
In animals, food-related behaviors are linked to health, reproduction and survival. As such, the processes that regulate these behaviors involve complex interactions between the environment and an individual’s physiological state. In social animals, social interactions additionally influence food …

Neurogenomic architecture of honey bee social behavior
… respond to social signals, and modify behavior to meet the demands of a changing environment. To do so, social experience must be embedded in the nervous system to modify behavior in anticipation of future events. How social information is encoded in the brain and informs social …

Connecting above- and belowground effects of climate warming on bumble bee health
<p>Climate warming has been identified as one of the primary factors causing worldwide pollinator declines. One of the most at-risk groups of pollinators is bumble bees (<em>Bombus</em> spp.). Bumble bees are common, widespread, and key pollinators of a wide range of crops and wild plants. Although …

Enhanced transcriptome profiling and biomarker discovery using meta-analytical techniques
… on the expression patterns between honey bees representing different age and behavior groups. A novel study-level meta-analysis approach was developed that combined estimates of fold change between groups because in many cases, only fold change results are available. The novelty of this …

Behavioral and molecular mechanisms of pheromone transmission in the honey bee (Apis mellifera)
The European honey bee (Apis mellifera) has a sophisticated system of pheromonal signals that mediate a wide range of behaviors important for their fitness, including reproductive dominance, nest defense, and cooperative brood care. In honey bees, there are two distinct pheromones emitted by …
