Convergent evolution associated with the loss of developmental diapause may promote extended lifespan in bees
Priscila Karla Ferreira Santos, Karen M. Kapheim
This study investigates the genomic basis of lifespan extension in bees lacking prepupal diapause, finding convergent selection on longevity-related genes and changes in selection pressures on the IIS/TOR pathway.
