Background and Environment Affect Phenotype

6.7K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...

Area of Science:

  • Ecology
  • Zoology
  • Climate Change Biology

Background:

  • Bee foraging is crucial for pollination, with ecological and economic importance.
  • Declining bee populations threaten pollination efficiency.
  • Global warming is an emerging threat to bee populations, but its specific effects on foraging behavior are unknown.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how elevated developmental temperatures affect the foraging behavior and morphology of Bombus terrestris workers.
  • To compare the effects on commercial and wild bee colonies.

Main Methods:

  • Bombus terrestris workers were reared at different temperatures (27°C and 33°C).
  • Foraging behavior (visiting rate, visiting time, number of foraging trips) was observed.
  • Morphological traits, specifically wing size and shape, were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Workers reared at 33°C exhibited higher visiting rates and shorter visiting times compared to those reared at 27°C.
  • Fewer workers reared at 33°C engaged in foraging, potentially due to reduced colony productivity.
  • Wild bee colonies showed an even stronger negative impact, with no foraging trips observed from workers reared at 33°C.
  • Rearing temperature influenced wing size and shape.

Conclusions:

  • Colony temperature during development has significant effects on bumblebee foraging behavior.
  • Elevated temperatures drastically reduce the number of workers foraging and the total number of foraging trips.
  • These findings suggest a potential reduction in pollination efficiency due to warming temperatures, warranting further investigation.
