The genetic mechanisms regulating the metamorphosis of worker and queen bees from genetically identical insect larvae is poorly understood. A team of researchers recently identified 842 candidate enhancer sequences from 17,349 worker Apis mellifera transcription start sites that may help regulate the development of worker honeybees in this genus’ complex social caste system.

Whether in the vast steppes of Mongolia, the dense rainforest of the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu, or in Germany’s low mountain ranges—the relationship between humans and dogs shows remarkable similarities across the globe. An international research team from Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig has investigated how this relationship takes shape across cultural boundaries. The team—supported by the German Research Foundation—studied the interaction between hunters and their dogs across five continents and found a surprising number of parallels. The researchers report their findings in the scientific journal »Scientific Reports«.
