摘要: Background We conducted a large-scale transcriptomic profiling of selected regions the central nervous system (CNS) across three species honey bees, in foragers that were performing dance behavior to communicate their nestmates location, direction and profitability an attractive floral resource. We used microarrays measure gene expression bees from Apis mellifera, dorsata florea, share major traits unique genus also show striking differences biology communication. The goals this study determine extent regional specialization explore molecular basis
