Octopamine modulates honey bee dance behavior (2007)
Barron, Andrew B, Maleszka, Ryszard, Vander Meer, Robert K, Robinson, Gene E
Honey bees communicate the location and desirability of valuable forage sites to their nestmates through an elaborate, symbolic “dance language.” The dance language is a uniquely complex...
Barron, Andrew B, Maleszka, Joanna, Vander Meer, Robert K., Robinson, Gene E, Maleszka, Ryszard
Entomologists have used a range of techniques to treat insects with neuroactive compounds, but it is not always clear whether different treatment methods are equally effective in delivering a...
The Utility of behavioral models and modules in molecular analyses of social behavior (2007)
Barron, Andrew B, Robinson, Gene E
It is extremely difficult to trace the causal pathway relating gene products or molecular pathways to the expression of behavior. This is especially true for social behavior, which being dependent on...

Changes in period mRNA levels in the brain and division of labor in honey bee colonies
Toma, Dan P., Bloch, Guy, Moore, Darrell, Robinson, Gene E.
Previous research showed that age-related division of labor in honey bees is associated with changes in activity rhythms; young adult bees perform hive tasks with no daily rhythms, whereas older bees...

Stimulation of muscarinic receptors mimics experience-dependent plasticity in the honey bee brain
Ismail, Nyla, Robinson, Gene E., Fahrbach, Susan E.
Honey bees begin life working in the hive. At ≈3 weeks of age, they shift to visiting flowers to forage for pollen and nectar. Foraging is a complex task associated with enlargement of the mushroom...

Vitellogenin, juvenile hormone, insulin signaling, and queen honey bee longevity
Corona, Miguel, Velarde, Rodrigo A., Remolina, Silvia, Moran-Lauter, Adrienne, Wang, Ying, Hughes, Kimberly A., ...
