September 16, 2025 — University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USANew research published in PLOS Biology reveals that several genetic variants associated with social behavior in honey bees are located within genes previously linked to social behavior in humans. According to Ian Traniello and colleagues, these findings point to ancient molecular roots of social behavior that have been conserved across species. Understanding Individual Differences in Sociability In social species, individuals display varying levels of sociability — some are highly connected and…
