Natural diversity in aging and other life‐history patterns is a hallmark of organismal variation. Related species, populations, and individuals within populations show genetically based variation in life span and other aspects of age‐related performance. Population differences are especially informative because these differences can be large relative to within‐population variation and because they...
Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are eusocial insects that exhibit striking caste-specific differences in longevity. Queen honey bees live on average 1–2 years whereas workers live on average 15–38 days in the summer and 150–200 days in the winter. Previous studies of senescence in the honey bee have focused on establishing the importance of extrinsic mortality factors (predation, weather) and behavior...
Honey bees are social insects that exhibit striking caste-specific differences in longevity. Queen honey bees live on average 1–2 years, whereas workers live 2–6 weeks in the summer and about 20 weeks in the winter. It is not clear whether queen–worker differences in longevity are due to intrinsic physiological differences in the rate of senescence, to differential exposure to extrinsic factors such...
