Dr. Gro Amdam’s group wrote a perspective to accompany the lab’s first article on the evolution of the egg yolk protein in the bee.  We are very happy given that Dr. Amdam has literally written the egg yolk protein story for the honey bee over the past several years.

The full citation of the perspective is found below:
