Loss of phenotypic plasticity generates genotype-caste association in harvester ants.

Current biology : CB - 29 Dec 2004

Cahan Sara Helms, Julian Glennis E, Rissing Steven W, Schwander Tanja, Parker Joel D, Keller Laurent

Abstract excerpt

Caste differentiation and reproductive division of labor are the hallmarks of insect societies. In ants and other social Hymenoptera, development of female larvae into queens or workers generally results from environmentally induced differences in gene expression. However, several cases in which...
