Mating flights and sperm transfer in the dwarf honeybee Apis andreniformis (Smith, 1858)

How- ever, his concern is drastically different to ours: He focuses on the effect of exogenous population growth on the level of capital accumulation in a model without

Then he was taken to the French Shore (part of Digby County, including the Acadian and Roman Catholic communities of Meteghan and St Alphonse), where he was cared for

The e ffective mating frequency of the queen in the population from the Malay Peninsula is sim- ilar to that reported in the previously published re- port on the Thai population of

mellifera queens we examined produced a majority of male brood but a low frequency of thelytokous daughters (85% of all queens, 0.1 –2.4% thelytokous brood per queen).. mellifera

A negative correla- tion between mating flight duration and sperm numbers would support the idea that queens continuously get information on her mating success during the nuptial

Figure 1 reports normalized expression (2 −ΔΔCt ) values for the seven antioxidant- encoding genes explored in the spermathecae of mated and virgin queens and in drone semen (mean

Abstract – Nosema apis inoculated and non-inoculated honeybee (Apis mellifera) queens were introduced into mating nuclei.. The workers accepted all queens from
