Evolutionary Adaptation of Genes Involved in Galactose Derivatives Metabolism in Oil-Tea Specialized <i>Andrena</i> Species
Oil-tea (<i>Camellia oleifera</i>) is a woody oil crop whose nectar includes galactose derivatives that are toxic to honey bees. Interestingly, some mining bees of the genus <i>Andrena</i> can entirely live on the nectar (and pollen) of oil-tea and are able to metabolize thes...
