Nourishment level affects caste-related gene expression in Polistes wasps.

BMC genomics - 25 Mar 2015

Berens Ali J, Hunt James H, Toth Amy L

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Social insects exhibit striking phenotypic plasticity in the form of distinct reproductive (queen) and non-reproductive (worker) castes, which are typically driven by differences in the environment during early development. Nutritional environment and nourishment during development has been shown to be broadly associated with caste determination across social insect taxa such as bees, wasps, and...
