DOI: 10.1007/s10818-017-9263-x
Abstract: Where positive externalities are structural inevitabilities of particular behaviors and strategies (e.g. “Black Queen (BQ) functions”), stable commensalism is both possible and likely even between individuals who would otherwise be in close competition, and the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-46565-2
Abstract: Information concerning the pathogenic role of honey bee viruses in invasive species are still scarce. The aim of this investigation was to assess the presence of several honey bee viruses, such as Black Queen Cell… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-65476-1
Abstract: The photosynthetic picoeukaryotes (PPEs) comprise a rare example of free-living eukaryotes that have undergone genome reduction. Here, we examine a duality in the process; the proposed driver of genome reduction (the Black Queen hypothesis, BQH),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.14501
Abstract: In recent decades, we have realized that honey bee viruses are not, in fact, exclusive to honey bees. The potential impact of Apis-affiliated viruses on native pollinators is prompting concern. Our research addresses the issue… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/jvi.02100-16
Abstract: ABSTRACT Viral diseases are a major threat to honeybee (Apis mellifera) populations worldwide and therefore an important factor in reliable crop pollination and food security. Black queen cell virus (BQCV) is the etiological agent of… read more here.

Reconciling concepts of black queen and tragedy of the commons in simulated bulk soil and rhizosphere prokaryote communities

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.969784
Abstract: The Black Queen hypothesis describes the evolutionary strategy to lose costly functions in favour of improving growth efficiency. This results in mutants (cheaters) becoming obligately dependent upon a provider (black queen) to produce a necessary… read more here.
