Recognition is a fundamental process on which all subsequent behaviors are based at every organizational level, from the gene up to the super-organism. At the whole organism level visual recognition is the best understood. However, chemical communi... Read More about Species-specific cuticular hydrocarbon stability within European Myrmica Ants.

Moku virus : a new Iflavirus found in wasps, honey bees and Varroa (2016)
Journal Article
Mordecai, G., Brettell, L., Pachori, P., Villalobos, E., Martin, S., Jones, I., & Schroeder, D. (2016). Moku virus : a new Iflavirus found in wasps, honey bees and Varroa. Scientific reports, 6(34983), https://doi.org/10.1038/srep34983

There is an increasing global trend of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) affecting a wide range of species, including honey bees. The global epidemic of the single stranded RNA Deformed wing virus (DWV), driven by the spread of Varroa destructor ha...

The occurrence of ecto-parasitic Leptus sp. mites on Africanised honey bees (2016)
Journal Article
Martin, S., & Correia-Oliveira, E. (2016). The occurrence of ecto-parasitic Leptus sp. mites on Africanised honey bees. Journal of Apicultural Research, 55(3), 243-246. https://doi.org/10.1080/00218839.2016.1228214

Honey bee-mite-pathogen associations have led to the widespread collapse of Apis mellifera colonies in various parts of the world. The global trade in bees continues to expose honey bees to new pests and pathogens. Here we highlight to the beekeeping...

Deformed wing virus is a recent global epidemic in honeybees driven by Varroa mites (2016)
Journal Article
Wilfert, L., Long, G., Leggett, H., Schmid-hemple, P., Butlin, R., Martin, S., & Boots, M. (2016). Deformed wing virus is a recent global epidemic in honeybees driven by Varroa mites. Science, 351(6273), 594-597. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aac9976

Deformed wing virus (DWV) and its vector, the mite Varroa destructor, are a major threat to the world’s honeybees. Although the impact of Varroa on colony-level DWV epidemiology is evident, we have little understanding of wider DWV epidemiology and t...
