Topic

"Genetic diversity in colonies", Dr. Heather Mattila

Description

Description: Well mated queens produce busy bees: this talk will discuss the consequences of the mating behavior of queens on the genetic diversity and productivity of the honey bee work force that each queen generates. In particular, we will focus on the effects of high mate number of the organization of a colony's foraging effort.

NOTE- this webinar will not be recorded.

She completed her Ph.D. in 2005 at the University of Guelph (Canada), where her research focused on the effects of nutritional stress on colony health and productivity. She subsequently completed a four-year postdoctoral fellowship at Cornell University (USA), where her research shifted to an examination of the mating behavior by honey bee queens and its impact on the colonies that they produce. Heather has been a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Wellesley College since 2009. At Wellesley, her research continues to focus on mechanisms of social communication and organization, including honey bee behavior, the chemical ecology of colonies, the microbiology of queens and workers, and impact of nutritional stress on workers. Recently, her research program has expanded to examine these topics in bumble bees, Asian honey bees, and hornets.
