Do honey phytochemicals modulate forager aggression and the gut microbiome in the honey bee (<i>Apis mellifera</i> L.)? Open
Plant phytochemicals found in nectar impact bee learning and memory and plant pollination success. Especially for generalist pollinators, dietary changes that alter phytochemical consumption could be common sources of behavioral variation.…

Honey bee worker jelly, a nutritional secretion fed to offspring, shows high among-nestmate and among-colony variation Open
Parents have evolved strategies to reduce the risk of malnutrition in offspring, including the production of specialized nutritional secretions that are tailored to meet the unique needs of developing offspring. Studies in vertebrates, how…

New voices for a better society Open
Emotions coordinate our behavior and physiological states during survival-salient events and pleasurable interactions. Even though we are often consciously aware of our current emotional state, such as anger or happiness, the mechanisms gi…

The diverse roles of insulin signaling in insect behavior Open
In insects and other animals, nutrition-mediated behaviors are modulated by communication between the brain and peripheral systems, a process that relies heavily on the insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway (IIS). Previous s…

Insects Provide Unique Systems to Investigate How Early-Life Experience Alters the Brain and Behavior Open
Early-life experiences have strong and long-lasting consequences for behavior in a surprising diversity of animals. Determining which environmental inputs cause behavioral change, how this information becomes neurobiologically encoded, and…

The transcriptomic signature of low aggression honey bees resembles a response to infection Open
Background: Behavior reflects an organism's health status. Many organisms display a generalized suite of behaviors that indicate infection or predict infection susceptibility. We apply this concept to honey bee aggression, a behavior that …

Advancing behavioural genomics by considering timescale Open
Animal behavioural traits often covary with gene expression, pointing towards a genomic constraint on organismal responses to environmental cues. This pattern highlights a gap in our understanding of the time course of environmentally resp…

Brain mitochondrial bioenergetics change with rapid and prolonged shifts in aggression in the honey bee, <i>Apis mellifera</i> Open
Neuronal function demands high-level energy production, and as such, a decline in mitochondrial respiration characterizes brain injury and disease. A growing number of studies, however, link brain mitochondrial function to behavioral modul…

Sequential social experiences interact to modulate aggression but not brain gene expression in the honey bee (Apis mellifera) Open
In highly social animals with collective behavioral phenotypes, social context may mask underlying variation in individual behavioral tendencies. Moreover, gene expression patterns may reflect behavioral tendency, while behavioral outcomes…
