A prominent theory states that animal phenotypes arise by evolutionary changes in gene
regulation, but the extent to which this theory holds true for behavioral evolution is not …

Behavior is a complex phenotype that is plastic and evolutionarily labile. The advent of
genomics has revolutionized the field of behavioral genetics by providing tools to quantify …

Understanding how social experiences are represented in the brain and shape future
responses is a major challenge in the study of behavior. We addressed this problem by …

Honey bees undergo an age-related, socially regulated transition from working in the hive to
foraging that has been previously associated with changes in the expression of thousands of …

For social animals, the genotypes of group members affect the social environment, and thus
individual behavior, often indirectly. We used genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to …

Using brain transcriptomic profiles from 853 individual honey bees exhibiting 48 distinct
behavioral phenotypes in naturalistic contexts, we report that behavior-specific …

Abstract Background The honeybee (Apis mellifera) has been used with great success in a
variety of behavioral studies. The lack of genomic tools in this species has, however …

Understanding how genotypic variation results in phenotypic variation is especially difficult
for collective behaviour because group phenotypes arise from complex interactions among …

Pheromones are very important in animal communication. To learn more about the
molecular basis of pheromone action, we studied the effects of a potent honey bee …

The honey bee has long been regarded as an model organism for behavioural genetic
studies into the evolution and expression of social traits. The advent of a complete genomic …
