Behavioral regulation of genetic caste determination in a Pogonomyrmex population with dependent lineages.

Ecology - 1 Sept 2006

Clark Rebecca M, Anderson Kirk E, Gadau Jürgen, Fewell Jennifer H

Abstract excerpt

The fate of a social insect colony is partially determined by its ability to allocate individuals to the caste most appropriate for the requirements for growth, maintenance, and reproduction. In pairs of dependent lineages of Pogonomyrmex barbatus, the allocation of individuals to the queen or worker caste is constrained by genotype, a system known as genetic caste determination (GCD). In mature GCD colonies,...
