The paper investigates seasonal changes in cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) of European honey bee subspecies, finding task-specific profiles are more consistent than seasonal shifts.

The paper analyzes CYP genetic diversity in 1,467 Apis mellifera subspecies to identify adaptive variation and pesticide resistance potential.

This study examines gene expression of elongase- and desaturase-encoding genes in honey bees and links it to cuticular hydrocarbon profiles across task groups and subspecies.

The paper compares cuticular hydrocarbon profiles across six European honey bee subspecies to assess adaptation to climate and social roles, finding subspecies-specific differences and task-related variations.

The paper curates and expands reference databases for ITS2 DNA barcoding in vascular plants by automating curation and manually adding new sequences.

The paper analyzes genetic structure in Western European honey bees using SNP data from 870 drones, identifying nine genetic backgrounds and large haplotype blocks.
