Sex- and caste-specific transcriptomes of larval honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) gonads: DMRT A2 and Hsp83 are differentially expressed and regulated by juvenile hormone

Denyse Cavalcante Lago et al.

Summary: In this study, a comparative RNA-seq analysis was conducted on the larval gonads of honey bees at a critical stage of development. Differential gene expression was identified among the three sex and caste phenotypes, with enrichment in metabolism, protein or ion binding, and oxidoreductase activity. The analysis also revealed metabolic pathways as enriched. Despite programmed cell death in worker ovaries, the transcriptomes of queen and worker ovaries showed higher similarity compared to drone testis. RT-qPCR analysis identified DMRT A2 and Hsp83 as potential molecular markers for sex- and caste-specific gonad development in honey bees due to their upregulation in response to juvenile hormone.

The Birth-and-Death Evolution of Cytochrome P450 Genes in Bees

Summary: While social behavior and resin collection are not correlated with the repertoire of P450 present in a bee species, unstable P450 clades are under more dynamic evolutionary pressures and exhibit signals of adaptive evolution.

Direct evidence for increased disease resistance in polyandrous broods exists only in eusocial Hymenoptera

D. M. Soper et al.

Summary: The GDDRH hypothesis suggests that polyandry evolves as a way to reduce parasite prevalence in genetically variable broods. A literature review and meta-analyses show that polyandry and genetic diversity can indeed reduce parasite load, with potential applicability across different taxa. However, there is a need for more direct evidence supporting GDDRH, especially in non-Hymenoptera species with high dispersal rates and various nesting behaviors.

The Birth-and-Death Evolution of Cytochrome P450 Genes in Bees

Kathy Darragh et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the P450 gene repertoire in orchid bees and finds that social behavior and resin collection are not correlated with the P450 repertoire in bee species. The research also reveals stable and unstable P450 clades, with genes involved in xenobiotic metabolism more likely to belong to unstable clades. Unstable clades exhibit signals of adaptive evolution due to dynamic evolutionary pressures.
