The Juvenile-Hormone-Responsive Factor AmKr-h1 Regulates Caste Differentiation in Honey Bees [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2023 Honey bees are typical model organisms for the study of caste differentiation, and the juvenile hormone (JH) is a crucial link in the regulatory network of caste differentiation in honey bees.

Screening of reference genes for microRNA analysis in the study of solider caste differentiation of Formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 The soldier caste differentiation is a complex process that is governed by the transcriptional regulation and post-transcriptional regulation. microRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs that control a wide range of activities.

10-hydroxy-2E-decenoic acid (10HDA) does not promote caste differentiation in Melipona scutellaris stingless bees [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 In bees from genus Melipona, differential feeding is not enough to fully explain female polyphenism. In these bees, there is a hypothesis that in addition to the environmental component (food), a genetic component is also involved in caste ...

Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of honeybee brains identifies vitellogenin as caste differentiation-related factor [PDF]
iScience, 2022 Summary: The honeybee (Apis mellifera) is a well-known eusocial insect. In honeybee colonies, thousands of sterile workers, including nurse and forager bees, perform various tasks within or outside the hive, respectively.

Regulation of soldier caste differentiation by microRNAs in Formosan subterranean termite (Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki) [PDF]
PeerJThe soldier caste is one of the most distinguished castes inside the termite colony. The mechanism of soldier caste differentiation has mainly been studied at the transcriptional level, but the function of microRNAs (miRNAs) in soldier caste ...

Life History of the Invasive Big-Headed Ant Pheidole megacephala (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) [PDF]
InsectsThe African big-headed ant, Pheidole megacephala (Fabricius, 1793), ranks among the world’s 100 worst invasive alien species, yet its basic life history remains poorly documented. We combined laboratory rearing and field observations in subtropical China
