Caste-Specific Differences in Hindgut Microbial Communities of Honey Bees (Apis mellifera)

Host-symbiont dynamics are known to influence host phenotype, but their role in social behavior has yet to be investigated. Variation in life history across honey bee (Apis mellifera) castes may influence community composition of gut symbionts, which may in turn influence caste phenotypes. We invest...
