Genomic signatures of evolutionary transitions from solitary to group living
…, M Hasselmann, D Hamacher, M Biewer, CF Kent… - Science, 2015 - science.org
The evolution of eusociality is one of the major transitions in evolution, but the underlying
genomic changes are unknown. We compared the genomes of 10 bee species that vary in …

[HTML][HTML] Social experience modifies pheromone expression and mating behavior in male Drosophila melanogaster
JJ Krupp, C Kent, JC Billeter, R Azanchi, AKC So… - Current Biology, 2008 - cell.com
Background The social life of animals depends on communication between individuals.
Recent studies in Drosophila melanogaster demonstrate that various behaviors are influenced …

Population genomics of the honey bee reveals strong signatures of positive selection on worker traits
Most theories used to explain the evolution of eusociality rest upon two key assumptions:
mutations affecting the phenotype of sterile workers evolve by positive selection if the resulting …

Management increases genetic diversity of honey bees via admixture
The process of domestication often brings about profound changes in levels of genetic variation
in animals and plants. The honey bee, Apis mellifera, has been managed by humans for …

[PDF][PDF] Social context influences chemical communication in D. melanogaster males
Chemical communication mediates social interactions in insects [1]. For the fruit fly, D.
melanogaster, the chemical display is a key fitness trait because it leads to mating. An exchange …

Recombination is associated with the evolution of genome structure and worker behavior in honey bees
The rise of insect societies, marked by the formation of reproductive and sterile castes, represents
a major unsolved mystery in evolution. Across several independent origins of sociality, …

Drosophila larval foraging behaviour: developmental stages
MB Sokolowski, C Kent, J Wong - Animal behaviour, 1984 - Elsevier
Two distinct developmentally related behaviour patterns can be identified in third-instar
larvae of Drosophila melanogaster, ‘foraging’ behaviour and ‘wandering’, a pre-pupation …

An index of littoral zone complexity and its measurement
C Kent, J Wong - Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic …, 1982 - cdnsciencepub.com
The littoral zone is important in lake ecosystems. It affects physical, chemical, and biological
processes of the whole lake. We first describe patterns in the shoreline lengths of a lake …

[PDF][PDF] A neural circuit encoding the experience of copulation in female Drosophila
Female behavior changes profoundly after mating. In Drosophila, the mechanisms underlying
the long-term changes led by seminal products have been extensively studied. However, …
