Uncovering Markers for Honey Production and Defensive Behaviour Using Pooled Genome-Wide Data with the Honeybee (Apis Mellifera)
… honeybee (Apis mellifera) has been an important insect for both the study of social insect behaviour and agriculture. Honey production and defensive behaviour are honeybees two notable and economically valuable traits. Here we perform a genome-wide association study on 925 honeybee colonies from …

An analysis of phonotactic behaviour in the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus
… a comprehensive examination of the phonotactic behaviour (i.e. attraction to sound) of the female Gryllus bimaculatus under laboratory conditions. Chapter 2 is the first study to analyze the effect of substrate texture on walking performance in crickets. Substrate texture is found to play an …
