Abstract excerpt
Wing polyphenism, which is the ability of a single genome to produce winged and wingless castes in a colony in response to environmental cues, evolved just once and is a universal feature of ants. The gene network underlying wing polyphenism, however, is conserved in the winged castes of differen...
