Evolution of queen pheromone receptor tuning in four honeybee species (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Apis)

Evolution of queen pheromone receptor tuning in four honeybee species (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Apis)

Summary: Honeybees (genus: Apis) use a plethora of pheromones for intraspecific communication. The primary compound produced by the queen’s mandibular glands, 9-ODA, is involved in mating in all Apis species.
