Altricial development in subsocial cockroach ancestors: foundation for the evolution of phenotypic plasticity in termites.

Evolution & development - 1 Jan 2000

Nalepa Christine A

Abstract excerpt

Basal termites possess two developmental features that eusocial Hymenoptera lack: the majority of colony members are juveniles whose somatic and reproductive development is temporarily or permanently suspended, and individual development is characterized by extreme phenotypic plasticity. An examination of the literature indicates that the basis for these unique ontogenetic characters is not the prolongation of a...
