Variation in endocrine signaling underlies variation in social life history.

The American naturalist - 1 Jul 2007

Amdam Gro V, Nilsen Kari-Anne, Norberg Kari, Fondrk M Kim, Hartfelder Klaus

Abstract excerpt

Variation in endocrine pathways can be a major mechanism underlying life-history evolution. Yet it is unclear whether this insight, derived primarily from solitary species, explains the origins of complex life-history traits in highly social taxa. Thus, we here document and study variation in social life-history syndromes of female fecundity, behavior, and life span in selectively bred honeybee (Apis mellifera)...
