Isolation disrupts social interactions and destabilizes brain development in bumblebees

Z. Y. Wang, G. C. McKenzie-Smith, W. Liu, H. J. Cho, T. D. Pereira, Z. Dhanerawala, J. W. Shaevitz, S. D. Kocher

This study shows that social isolation in early life disrupts brain development and gene expression in bumblebees, while limited social experience preserves typical patterns.

Convergent selection on juvenile hormone signaling is associated with the evolution of eusociality in bees

B. M. Jones, B. E. Rubin, O. Dudchenko, C. J. Kingwell, I. M. Traniello, Z. Y. Wang, K. M. Kapheim, E. S. Wyman, P. A. Adastra, W. Liu, L. R. Parsons, S. R. Jackson, K. Goodwin, S. M. Davidson, M. J. McBride, , S. D. Kocher

The paper identifies genomic signatures and loci associated with convergent gains and losses of eusociality in sweat bees, linking them to juvenile hormone signaling proteins.

Rate variation in the evolution of non-coding DNA associated with social evolution in bees

B. E. Rubin, B. M. Jones, B. Hunt, S. D. Kocher

The paper examines non-coding DNA evolution in bees to link gene regulatory changes with social evolution, finding correlations between sequence rates and social complexity.

Social behavior in bees influences the abundance of Sodalis (Enterobacteriaceae) symbionts

B. E. Rubin, J. G. Sanders, K. M. Turner, N. E. Pierce, S. D. Kocher

The paper investigates the relationship between social behavior in bees and the abundance of Sodalis symbionts, finding that Sodalis strains differ in abundance between social and solitary bees.
