Plant microRNAs in larval food regulate honeybee caste development.
PLoS Genetics, 2017 The major environmental determinants of honeybee caste development come from larval nutrients: royal jelly stimulates the differentiation of larvae into queens, whereas beebread leads to worker bee fate.

Differential expression of miRNAs related to caste differentiation in the honey bee, Apis mellifera [PDF]
, 2016 International audienceAbstractHoney bees are very important eusocial insects and are involved in the pollination of many plants. Queen bees and worker bees can develop from the same fertilized eggs and are thus genetically identical despite their ...

Diet and cell size both affect queen-worker differentiation through DNA methylation in honey bees (Apis mellifera, Apidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Young larvae of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) are totipotent; they can become either queens (reproductives) or workers (largely sterile helpers). DNA methylation has been shown to play an important role in this differentiation. In this study, we examine

Dopamine regulates termite soldier differentiation through trophallactic behaviours [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Caste polyphenism in social insects is regulated by social interactions among colony members. Trophallaxis is one of the most frequently observed interactions, but no studies have been conducted identifying the intrinsic factors involved in this ...

Getting more than a fair share: nutrition of worker larvae related to social parasitism in the Cape honey bee Apis mellifera capensis [PDF]
, 2002 Besides activation of ovaries and thelytokous reproduction of Cape workers, larval nutrition is an important aspect in parasitism of the African honey bee.

Education, caste and occupational differentials in fertility in India
European Journal of Geography, 2020 This study analyses the impact of four prominent factors (education, caste, occupation and development) on fertility in India. The study has also analysed the spatial variations of TFR in India. This spatial analysis also helps in identifying the impact of fertility on Development in India. Present study estimates fertility from census that covers all

Production of Castings with Differentiated Surface Properties [PDF]
Research Bulletin of the National Technical University of Ukraine "Kyiv Politechnic Institute", 2017 Problems. Surface layers get the most intensive external influences during the operation of molded parts of machines and mechanisms, therefore their structure and properties determine the operability of products as a whole. To achieve high surface strength and durability of parts, various technological processes are used in the industry, but most of ...
