Abstract: Males of hymenopteran insects, which include ants, bees and wasps, develop as haploids from unfertilized eggs. In order to accommodate their lack of homologous chromosome pairs, some hymenopterans such as the honeybee have been shown… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.2319
Abstract: Circadian light entrainment in some insects is regulated by blue-light-sensitive cryptochrome (CRY) protein that is expressed in the clock neurons, but this is not the case in hymenopterans. The hymenopteran clock does contain CRY, but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12864-020-06904-4
Abstract: Whilst adaptive facultative sex allocation has been widely studied at the phenotypic level across a broad range of organisms, we still know remarkably little about its genetic architecture. Here, we explore the genome-wide basis of… read more here.
