• Uncovering the novel characteristics of Asian honey bee, Apis cerana, by whole genome sequencing (2015, background): “For example, the fatty acid biosynthesis, glutathione metabolism, and cytochrome P450 pathways may be involved in nest-mate recognition and detoxification of pesticides (Additional file 1: Figure S5) [52,53].”
• Wax combs mediate nestmate recognition by guard honeybees (2006, background): “…have been shown to be essential for nestmate recognition in many social insects (reviewed in Howard & Blomquist 2005), but in the case of the honeybee, the role of hydrocarbons is more controversial because fatty acids are also thought to be important recognition cues (e.g. Breed et al. 2004a).”
