We will address the genomic basis controlling the transition from a social to a parasitic honeybee worker (Apis mellifera capensis) and compare this with the transitions from a social Bumblebee species (Bombus terrestris) to its cuckoo bumblebee species (B. vestalis). The evolution of social parasitism and the loss of sociality in the parasites allows for studying the uncoupling of the fecundity/longevity trade-off in social bees at the genomic level. We will study this by experimentally switching fecundity on or off and assess this effect on longevity and/or on genomic regulations know to be involved in longevity. In addition to controlled experimental studies we will also assess natural populations in the wild allowing for the interpretation of the natural selection processes driving the balance between short lived social and long lived parasitic honeybees.

我们将解决控制从社会向寄生蜜蜂工人（Apis Mellifera Capensis）过渡的基因组基础，并将其与从社会大黄蜂物种（Bombus terresteris）到其杜鹃大黄蜂物种（B. vestalis）的过渡。社会寄生虫主义的演变和寄生虫中社会性的丧失允许研究基因组水平上社会蜜蜂中的繁殖力/寿命折衷的解偶联。我们将通过实验开启或关闭繁殖力来研究这一点，并评估对寿命和/或对基因组法规的影响，该影响与寿命有关。除了受控的实验研究外，我们还将评估野外的自然种群，以解释自然选择过程，从而推动短暂的社交和长期存在的寄生蜜蜂之间的平衡。
