Feeding with plant powders increases longevity and body weight of Western honeybee workers (Apis mellifera)
<p>Beekeepers routinely substitute honey from managed western honeybees, <em>Apis mellifera</em>, colonies with sugar water post-harvest, potentially leading to malnutrition. Although nutritional supplements have been created, a general consensus on proper colony nutrition for beekeeping has yet to be reached. Thus, finding easily obtainable fortified <em>A. mellifera</em> food alternatives is still of interest. Here, we test plant powder-enriched food supplements since <em>a priori</em> evidence suggests plant extracts can enhance dry body weight and longevity of workers. Freshly emerged workers were kept in hoarding cages (N=69 days) and fed either with 50 % (w/v) sucrose solution alone or additionally with one of 12 powders: <em>Laurus nobilis, Quercus </em>spp<em>., Curcuma longa, Hypericum </em>spp<em>., Spirulina platensis, Calendula officinalis, Chlorella vulgaris, Melissa officinalis, Moringa oleifera, Rosa canina, Trigonella foenum-graecum, </em>and<em> Urtica dioica </em>(N=2028 workers total). The dry body weight was significantly increased in <em>Quercus</em> spp., <em>Hypericum</em> spp., <em>Spirunlina platensis, Mellisa officinalis, Moringa oelifera</em>, and <em>Trigonella foenum-graecum</em> treatments. Further, the longevity was significantly increased in <em>Quercus </em>spp., <em>Curcuma longa, Calendulae officinalis, Chlorella vulgaris, Melissa officinalis, Rosa canina, Trigonella foenum-graecum, </em>and<em> Urtica diocia</em> treatments<em>.</em> Given that plant extracts can enhance <em>A. mellifera</em> health, plant powders possibly provide additional macro- (i.e. proteins, lipids, peptides) and micronutrients (minerals and vitamins) thereby enhancing nutrient availability. Further investigations into the mechanisms underlying these effects and field studies are recommended to validate these findings in real-hive scenarios.</p>
Data from: Gene expression differences between western redcedar seedlings resistant and susceptible to cedar leaf blight
<p>Western redcedar (<em>T. plicata</em>) is an important Cupressaceae both at economic and cultural levels in the Pacific Northwest of North America. In adult trees, the species produces one of the most weathering-resistant heartwoods among conifers, making it one of the preferred species for outdoor applications. However, young <em>T. plicata</em> plants are susceptible to infection with cedar leaf blight (<em>D. thujina</em>), an important foliar pathogen that can be devastating in nurseries and small-spaced plantations. Despite that, variability in the resistance against <em>D. thujina</em> in <em>T. plicata</em> has been documented, and such a variability can be used to breed <em>T. plicata</em> for resistance against the pathogen. This investigation aimed to discern the phenotypic and gene expression differences between resistant and susceptible <em>T. plicata</em> seedlings to shed light on the potential constitutive resistance mechanisms against cedar leaf blight in western redcedar. The study consisted of two parts. First, the histological differences between four resistant and four susceptible families that were never infected with the pathogen were investigated. And second, the differences between one resistant and one susceptible family that were infected and not infected with the pathogen were analyzed at the chemical (C, N, mineral nutrients, lignin, fiber, starch, and terpenes) and gene expression (RNA-Seq) levels. The histological part showed that <em>T. plicata</em> seedlings resistant to <em>D. thujina</em> had constitutively thicker cuticles and lower stomata densities than susceptible plants. The chemical analyses revealed that, regardless of their infection status, resistant plants had higher foliar concentrations of sabinene and α-thujene, and higher levels of expression of transcripts that code for leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein kinases and for bark storage proteins. In conclusion, the data collected in this study shows that constitutive differences at the phenotypic (histological and chemical) and gene expression level exist between <em>T. plicata</em> seedlings susceptible and resistant to <em>D. thujina</em>. Such differences have potential use for marker-assisted selection and breeding for resistance against cedar leaf blight in western redcedar in the future.</p>
Heritability of cognitive performance in wild Western Australian magpies
<p>Individual differences in cognitive performance can have genetic, social and environmental components. Most research on the heritability of cognitive traits comes from humans or captive non-human animals, whilst less attention has been given to wild populations. Western Australian magpies (<em>Gymnorhina tibicen dorsalis</em>, hereafter magpies) show phenotypic variation in cognitive performance, which affects reproductive success. Despite high levels of individual repeatability, we do not know whether cognitive performance is heritable in this species. Here, we quantify broad-sense heritability of associative learning ability in a wild population of Western Australian magpies. Specifically, we explore whether offspring associative learning performance is predicted by maternal associative learning performance, or by the social environment (group size) when tested at three time points during the first year of life. We found no significant relationship between maternal and offspring associative learning performance, with an estimated broad-sense heritability of just -0.004 ± 0.024 (CI: -0.050/0.044). However, complementing previous findings, we find that at 300 days post-fledging, individuals raised in larger groups passed the test in fewer trials compared to individuals from small groups. Our results highlight the pivotal influence of the social environment on cognitive development.</p>
