Studying gut microbiota evolution across animals is crucial for understanding symbiotic interactions but is hampered by the lack of high-resolution genomic data. Honeybees, with their specialized gut microbiota and well-known ecology, offer an ideal system to study this evolution. Using shotgun metagenomics on 200 honeybee workers from five species...
The rapid urbanization observed in Asian tropics has resulted in extensive landscape transformations, giving rise to novel challenges such as conflicts of interest among citizens and threats to biodiversity. To facilitate informed urban management policies, there is a pressing need for contemporary land use and cover maps that provide precise insig...

Honey bees display two nesting behaviors: open nesting and cavity nesting. Cavity nesting lacks a bee curtain, providing ample protection from external factors. In open nesting, for example in Apis florea, a bee-curtain layer shields the brood and complicates the study of in-hive activities. To address this, our lab (Honey Bee Lab) developed a mani...
