Expression of foraging and Gp-9 are associated with social organization in the fire ant Solenopsis invicta.

Insect molecular biology - 1 Feb 2015

Lucas C, Nicolas M, Keller L

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to investigate levels of expression of two major genes, the odorant binding protein Gp-9 (general protein-9) and foraging, that have been shown to be associated with behavioural polymorphisms in ants. We analysed workers and young nonreproductive queens collected from nests of the monogyne (single reproductive queen per nest) and polygyne (multiple reproductive queens) social forms of...
