Evolution of gene expression in fire ants: the effects of developmental stage, caste, and species.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Apr 2011

Ometto Lino, Shoemaker DeWayne, Ross Kenneth G, Keller Laurent

Abstract excerpt

Ants provide remarkable examples of equivalent genotypes developing into divergent and discrete phenotypes. Diploid eggs can develop either into queens, which specialize in reproduction, or workers, which participate in cooperative tasks such as building the nest, collecting food, and rearing the...
