Metabolic profiling unravels the effects of enhanced output and harvesting time on royal jelly quality

Chuan Ma et al.

Summary: The study compared the metabolic profiles of royal jelly harvested from Italian bees and high royal jelly-producing bees, finding similar quality between the two bee strains and little influence of harvesting time on royal jelly quality. Analysis of metabolic composition provided evidence for mass production of high-quality royal jelly.

Population bottlenecks and founder effects: implications for mosquito-borne arboviral emergence

Scott C. Weaver et al.

Summary: Transmission of arthropod-borne viruses involves infection and replication in both arthropod vectors and vertebrate hosts, with population bottlenecks and founder effects playing important roles in arboviral evolution and spread, as well as the emergence of human disease.

Assessing evolutionary processes over time in a conservation breeding program: a combined approach using molecular data, simulations and pedigree analysis

Belinda R. Wright et al.

Summary: Captive breeding for conservation faces challenges such as small population size, founder effects, lack of migration, which influence the genetic makeup through selection, genetic drift, and gene flow. Our study on Tasmanian devils shows that genetic drift may lead to allele loss in smaller populations, while managed breeding in captivity can minimize inbreeding over time. Gene flow plays a key role in shaping population structure and increasing genetic diversity in managed populations.

Characterization of the mitochondrial genome of a high royal jelly-producing honeybee strain (Apis mellifera ligustica)

Chuan Ma et al.

Summary: The complete mitochondrial genome of a high royal jelly-producing honeybee strain selected from Italian bees in China was determined. The genetic content was similar to other A. mellifera subspecies. Phylogenetic analysis indicated a close relationship between this strain and previously sequenced Italian bees.
