Social divergence: molecular pathways underlying castes and longevity in a facultatively eusocial small carpenter bee.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 30 Mar 2022

Shell Wyatt A, Rehan Sandra M

Abstract excerpt

Unravelling the evolutionary origins of eusocial life is a longstanding endeavour in the field of evolutionary-developmental biology. Descended from solitary ancestors, eusocial insects such as honeybees have evolved ontogenetic division of labour in which short-lived workers perform age-associated tasks, while a long-lived queen produces brood. It is hypothesized that (i) eusocial caste systems evolved through...
