Dietary dopamine supplementation has no effect on ovary activity in queen-less or queen-right honeybee (Apis mellifera) workers

Roland A. Knapp, Mackenzie R. Lovegrove, Victoria Norman, Elizabeth J. Duncan

Abstract Eusociality in honeybees (Apis mellifera) is characterised by a reproductive division of labour, where the queen monopolises reproduction while worker reproduction is constrained. This constraint is mediated by queen mandibular pheromone (QMP), which inhibits worker ovary development through Notch signalling and …

Honeybee queen mandibular pheromone induces a starvation response in Drosophila melanogaster

Mackenzie R. Lovegrove, Peter K. Dearden, Elizabeth J. Duncan

Eusocial insect societies are defined by the reproductive division of labour, a social structure that is generally enforced by the reproductive dominant(s) or 'queen(s)'. Reproductive dominance is maintained through behavioural dominance or production of queen pheromones, or a mixture of both. Queen …

Noggin proteins are multifunctional extracellular regulators of cell signaling

Prashath Karunaraj, Olivia Tidswell, Elizabeth J. Duncan, Mackenzie R. Lovegrove et autres

Noggin is an extracellular cysteine knot protein that plays a crucial role in vertebrate dorsoventral patterning. Noggin binds and inhibits the activity of bone morphogenetic proteins via a conserved N-terminal clip domain. Noncanonical orthologs of Noggin that lack a clip domain ("Noggin-like" …

Evolution and genomic organization of the insect sHSP gene cluster and coordinate regulation in phenotypic plasticity

Megan Leask, Mackenzie R. Lovegrove, Abigail Walker, Elizabeth J. Duncan et autres

BACKGROUND: Conserved syntenic gene complexes are rare in Arthropods and likely only retained due to functional constraint. Numerous sHSPs have been identified in the genomes of insects, some of which are located clustered in close proximity. Previous phylogenetic analyses of these clustered …

Honeybee Queen mandibular pheromone induces starvation in Drosophila melanogaster , implying a role for nutrition signalling in the evolution of eusociality

Mackenzie R. Lovegrove, Elizabeth J. Duncan, Peter K. Dearden

Abstract Eusocial insect societies are defined by the reproductive division of labour, a social structure that is generally enforced by the reproductive dominant or ‘queen’. Reproductive dominance is maintained through behavioural dominance in some species as well as production of queen pheromones …

High-Quality Assemblies for Three Invasive Social Wasps from the Vespula Genus

Thomas W.R. Harrop, Joseph G. Guhlin, Gemma M. McLaughlin, Elizabeth Perming et autres

Social wasps of the genus Vespula have spread to nearly all landmasses worldwide and have become significant pests in their introduced ranges, affecting economies and biodiversity. Comprehensive genome assemblies and annotations for these species are required to develop the next generation of …
