Nutritional status influences socially regulated foraging ontogeny in honey beesAmy L Toth
Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Department of Entomology, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, IL 61801, USA
J Exp Biol 208:4641-9. 2005..Our findings suggest that mechanisms linking internal nutritional physiology to foraging in solitary insects have been co-opted to regulate altruistic foraging in a social context...
Evo-devo and the evolution of social behaviorAmy L Toth
Department of Entomology, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, IL 61801, USA
Trends Genet 23:334-41. 2007..The evo-devo approach, coupled with advances in genomics for non-model genetic organisms, including the recent sequencing of the honeybee genome, promises to advance our understanding of the evolution of social behavior...
Wasp gene expression supports an evolutionary link between maternal behavior and eusocialityAmy L Toth
Department of Entomology and Institute for Genomic Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, USA
Science 318:441-4. 2007..Insulin-related genes were among the differentially regulated genes, suggesting that the evolution of eusociality involved major nutritional and reproductive pathways...
Genetic and genomic analyses of the division of labour in insect societiesChris R Smith
Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, Urbana, Illinois 61801, USA
Nat Rev Genet 9:735-48. 2008....
Regulation of behavioral maturation by a primer pheromone produced by adult worker honey beesIsabelle Leoncini
Laboratoire Biologie et Protection de l'Abeille, , Site Agroparc, Domaine Saint-Paul, 84914 Avignon Cedex 9, France
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 101:17559-64. 2004..Our findings provide critical validation for a model of self-organization explaining how bees are able to respond to fragmentary information with actions that are appropriate to the state of the whole colony...
