Role of the foraging gene in worker behavioral transition in the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Jie Chen et al.

Summary: The for (Sifor) gene plays a critical role in the behavioral transition between foragers and nurses of red imported fire ants. The expression patterns of Sifor and PKG vary in different castes, body sizes, ages, and tissues of fire ants. RNA interference-mediated Sifor knockdown induces the transition of foragers toward the nurse phenotype, while PKG activation results in the transition of nurses toward the forager phenotype.

Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of honeybee brains identifies vitellogenin as caste differentiation-related factor

Wenxin Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that honeybee queens and workers have similar genomes but occupy different caste statuses. By establishing single-cell transcriptomic atlases of honeybee brains, five major cell groups were identified, and it was observed that vitellogenin is highly expressed in specific cell types in queen bees.

Expression of the foraging gene in adult Drosophila melanogaster

Aaron M. Allen et al.

Summary: The foraging gene in Drosophila melanogaster plays multiple behavioral and physiological functions in both larval and adult flies. Its expression is characterized in the brain, gastric system, and reproductive systems, showing glial-specific cellular localization in the brain and widespread expression in gastric and reproductive systems. Multiple cis-regulatory elements responsible for observed expression patterns have been identified and shown to be modular when comparing larval and adult expression patterns. The study discusses the use of gene-trap and cloned foraging promoter fusion GAL4 methods, highlighting the importance of considering glial subtypes and peripheral tissues in understanding foraging's effects.

The foraging gene as a modulator of division of labour in social insects

Christophe Lucas et al.

Summary: Social ants, bees, wasps, and termites are ecologically successful due to their social lifestyle allowing efficient exploitation of environmental resources. Division of labor among sterile workers is a key attribute in social insect colonies, providing fundamental insights into regulatory processes and genetic evolution of sociality. The conserved foraging gene, encoding a cGMP-dependent protein kinase, plays a crucial role in worker transitions and behavioral traits associated with division of labor in various social insect species.

LOCATION AND STRENGTH OF MALVOLIO EXPRESSION IN CHINESE HONEYBEE REVEALS ITS POTENTIAL ROLE IN LABOR DIVISION

Weihua Ma et al.

Summary: The malvolio (mvl) gene plays a crucial role in the transition from nursing to foraging in Apis cerana cerana bees, indicating its involvement in labor division. High Acmvl expression levels were observed in nurse bees' thoraxes and forager bees' heads, with selective expression in specific brain cells related to sensory processing and memory. These findings suggest that Acmvl functions in the nurse-forager transition in A. c. cerana.

Expression of methyl farnesoate epoxidase (mfe) and juvenile hormone esterase (jhe) genes and their relation to social organization in the stingless bee Melipona interrupta (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Diana Vieira Brito et al.

Summary: Social organization in highly eusocial bees relies on caste differentiation in female larvae and age polyethism in adult workers, regulated by the key hormone Juvenile Hormone (JH). The expression of genes related to JH metabolism in Melipona interrupta is connected to changes in JH levels during late larval development and transitions in worker activities. These findings suggest that different mechanisms exist in highly eusocial bees to regulate JH and maintain social organization levels.

Summary: Corbiculate bees, including honey bees and bumble bees, exhibit a broad variety of morphologies and behaviors, playing a critical role in interpreting eusocial behaviors. Understanding their phylogeny is crucial for explaining patterns and mechanisms of social evolution.
