The Weak Worker Hypothesis: a new framework for understanding division of labour in social insects

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In social species, group functions often benefit from variation among individual group members. Many highly integrated social insect colonies rely on division of labour among colony members and emergent properties of their collective behaviour and physiology. Response threshold models are a prominent proximate explanation of division of labour,
