Genetic variation influences food-sharing sociability in honey bees Open
Individual variation in sociability is a central feature of every society. This includes honey bees, with some individuals well connected and sociable, and others at the periphery of their colony’s social network. However, the genetic and …

RESCUE: recovery of idiosyncratic expression patterns in spatial transcriptomics Open
Spatial transcriptomics (ST) enables gene expression profiling while preserving the spatial architecture of intact tissue. Analyzing ST data often proceeds by first extracting cell-level information, typically through cell segmentation or …

Bumble bee workers adopt novel behavioral roles and reshape their social networks in the absence of a queen Open
Dominant individuals often structure group organization, but less is known about how social networks differ in their absence or how variation among subordinates contributes to collective outcomes. Bumble bees ( Bombus impatiens ) provide a…
