Insulin Receptor Substrate Gene Knockdown Accelerates Behavioural Maturation and Shortens Lifespan in Honeybee Workers
In animals, dietary restriction or suppression of genes involved in nutrient sensing tends to increase lifespan. In contrast, food restriction in honeybees (<i>Apis</i><i> mellifera</i>) shortens lifespan by accelerating a behavioural maturation program that culminates in lea...
