Learning and Increased Effort Affect Lipid Gene Expression in the Mushroom Bodies of Bombus terrestris; A Possible Model for Flower Handling?

This study examines how instrumental learning and increased effort affect lipid gene expression in bumblebee mushroom bodies, suggesting a link to flower-handling behavior.

Brain microRNAs among social and solitary bees

The paper examines the relationship between social organization and lineage-specific microRNAs in bees, finding that novel miRNAs may coevolve with genes but do not significantly influence social evolution.
