The trap of sex in social insects: from the female to the male perspective.

Neuroscience and biobehavioral reviews - 1 Oct 2014

Beani Laura, Dessì-Fulgheri Francesco, Cappa Federico, Toth Amy

Abstract excerpt

The phenotype of male Hymenoptera and the peculiar role of males has been neglected and greatly understudied, given the spectacular cooperative behavior of female social insects. In social insects there has been considerable progress in understanding the molecular mechanisms behind haplodiploid sex determination but, beyond that, very little is known concerning the neural, endocrine, and genetic correlates of...
