The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) will fund Dr. Amro Zayed’s Discovery Program proposal titled “Genomic studies of complex behaviour: honey bee genes, behaviour, and adaptation” from 2010 to 2015.  Visit www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca for more details.  The funding will be used to integrate genomics and population genetics to study the evolution and genetic mechanisms underlying worker behaviour in honey bee colonies.
