Polyandry in social Hymenoptera — disunity in diversity? (2001, background): “For honeybees, estimates of risk vary considerably (Palmer & Oldroyd 2000, Tarpy & Page 2001), perhaps reflecting whether or not the risks are assessed in populations subjected to coevolved predators (as in Europe) or free of them (as in the U.S.).”
Sex determination and the evolution of polyandry in honey bees (Apis mellifera) (2002, background): “It has been suggested, therefore, that this hypothesis cannot alone account for extreme polyandry in Apis ( Palmer and Oldroyd 2000 ).”
Ovariole number—a predictor of differential reproductive success among worker subfamilies in queenless honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies (2006, background): “mellifera workers to have activated ovaries even in the presence of the queen and also to produce haploid eggs which are not removed by policing workers (Oldroyd et al. 1994; Palmer and Oldroyd 2000).”
Sperm limitation and the evolution of extreme polyandry in honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) (2004, background): “Despite intensive research in the last decades (e.g. Cole 1983; Crozier and Page 1985; Boomsma and Ratnieks 1996; Palmer and Oldroyd 2000; Crozier and Fjerdingstad 2001, among others), the phenomenon of multiple mating by queens (=polyandry) is still one of the unsolved riddles in the evolution of…”
Worker policing and worker reproduction in Apis cerana (2001, background): “The selective forces that promote worker policing run in Worker policing and worker reproduction in Apis cerana parallel with forces that promote individual reproduction (Montague and Oldroyd 1998; Oldroyd et al. 1999; Barron et al. 2001).”
Worker reproduction in honey-bees (Apis) and the anarchic syndrome: a review (2001, background): “…relative kin values of a worker to the various males can be summarized by the following inequalities: All Apis species that have been studied have populationwide effective paternity frequencies considerably greater than 2 (reviewed in Palmer and Oldroyd 2000) and thus are represented by (2) above.”
Multiple nuptial flights, sperm transfer and the evolution of extreme polyandry in honeybee queens (2005, unknown): “The genetic variance hypotheses have been regarded as highly plausible (Crozier & Page 1985; Palmer & Oldroyd 2000; Crozier & Fjerdingstad 2001; Tarpy & Page Correspondence and present address: H. Schlüns, School of Tropical Biology, James Cook University, Townsville, Queensland 4811, Australia…”
Sampling Error, Effective Paternity, and Estimating the Genetic Structure of Honey Bee Colonies (Hymenoptera: Apidae) (2002, background): “Longer-lived colonies have had a greater opportunity to undergo colony-level selection, and it is hypothesized that colonies headed by queens with low insemination frequencies are more subject to colony failure (reviewed by Palmer and Oldroyd 2000).”
The Cape honeybee phenomenon: the sympatric evolution of a social parasite in real time? (2002, background): “Because honeybee queens mate with many males (polyandry; Lobo and Kerr 1993; Neumann and Moritz 2000; Palmer and Oldroyd 2000), workers are on average more closely related to the queen's male offspring than to the worker-laid drones, making cannibalism of the latter an adaptive trait (Ratnieks…”
The physical, insemination, and reproductive quality of honey bee queens (Apis mellifera L.) (2011, background): “It has been shown that polyandry, and the resultant intracolony genetic diversity of the worker force, confers numerous benefits to a colony (reviewed by Palmer and Oldroyd, 2000 ).”
