Inheritance of thelytoky in the honey bee Apis mellifera capensis
Published 2014-01-01Asexual reproduction via thelytokous parthenogenesis is widespread in the Hymenoptera, but its genetic underpinnings have been described only twice. In the wasp Lysiphlebus fabarum and the Cape honey bee Apis mellifera ...Open AccessDataset -
Genetic architecture of the Tetragonula carbonaria species complex of Australian stingless bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini)
Published 2014-01-01A species complex is a group of closely related species whose ecological or morphological boundaries are sufficiently vague that delimiting one species from another is difficult. In Australia, a group of four stingless bee ...Open AccessDataset -
Why acquiesce? Worker reproductive parasitism in the Eastern honey bee (Apis cerana)
Published 2014-01-01Most societies are vulnerable to rogue individuals that pursue their own interests at the expense of the collective entity. Societies often protect themselves from selfish behaviour by 'policing', thereby enforcing the ...Open AccessDataset -
Genetic reincarnation of workers as queens in the Eastern honeybee Apis cerana
Published 2014-01-01Thelytokous parthenogenesis, or the asexual production of female offspring, is rare in the animal kingdom, but relatively common in social Hymenoptera. However, in honeybees, it is only known to be ubiquitous in one ...Open AccessDataset -
Dengue Virus in Sub-tropical Northern and Central Viet Nam: Population Immunity and Climate Shape Patterns of Viral Invasion and Maintenance
Published 2013-12-05Dengue virus transmission occurs in both epidemic and endemic cycles across tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Incidence is particularly high in much of Southeast Asia, where hyperendemic transmission plagues ...Open AccessArticle
