Experimental infections with a honeybee virus induce fitness costs in ant colonies

Lai Ka Lo, Ashmita Baruah, Robert J. Paxton, Yuko Ulrich

This study shows that ants can acquire ABPV, incur fitness costs, and transmit the virus within colonies without supporting replication.

Genetic mapping in the red mason bee implicates ANTSR as an ancient sex-determining locus in bees and ants

Tilman Rönneburg, Demetris Taliadoros, Anna Olsson…·Matthew T. Webster

The paper maps a CSD locus in the red mason bee, identifies ANTSR as the sex-determining gene, and suggests it is an ancient locus in Hymenoptera.
