Epigenetic and metabolic analysis of caste differentiation in Melipona scutellaris [PDF]
, 2019 In bees from genus Melipona bees, differential feeding is not sufficient to explain female polyphenism. In these bees, in addition to the environmental component (food), a genetic component is required.

Sociobiology, 2013 In most lower termites, colonies are headed by neotenic reproductives of both sexes after the primary reproductives (i.e., the queen and king) are lost.

Nature Communications, 2017 Although common in ants and termites, worker differentiation into physical castes is rare in social bees and unknown in wasps. Here, Grüter and colleagues find a guard caste in ten species of stingless bees and show that the evolution of the guard caste ...

Higher Order Differential Attack of a CAST Cipher [PDF]
, 1998 This paper proposes a new higher order differential attack. The higher order differential attack proposed at FSE’97 by Jakobsen and Knudsen used exhaustive search for recovering the last round key. Our new attack improves the complexity to the cost of solving a linear system of equations.

An adaptive view of caste differentiation in the neotropical wasp Polybia (Trichothorax) sericea Olivier (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) [PDF]
, 2011 The tribe Epiponini comprehends the swarm-founding Neotropical wasps, with several species endemic to Brazil, which are extremely important in studies of social evolution of wasps.

The Plasticity and Developmental Potential of Termites
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Phenotypic plasticity provides organisms with the potential to adapt to their environment and can drive evolutionary innovations. Developmental plasticity is environmentally induced variation in phenotypes during development that arise from a shared ...

Caste differentiation pathways in the Neotropical termite Silvestritermes euamignathus (Isoptera: Termitidae) [PDF]
, 2016 Termites are hemimetabolous insects that commonly exhibit a bifurcation in post-embryonic development, with the presence of two lines: (i) the nymphal–imaginal line; and (ii) the apterous line.

Epigenetic RNA modifications, m6A and m5C, in the caste differentiation process in Apis mellifera [PDF]
, 2023 Em abelhas Apis mellifera, a partir de um mesmo genótipo, as larvas diploides (fêmeas) podem se desenvolver em rainha ou em operária, dependendo do estímulo nutricional que recebem durante as fases larvais.

Studies on the Caste Differentiation in Termites
Japanese journal of applied entomology and zoology, 1963 ヤマトシロアリの兵蟻と副生殖虫の出現についてみると,王・女王の1対からの人工コロニーにおいて,幼虫と,職蟻が5頭以下出現した人工コロニーの53個のうち4個にだけ兵蟻が現われ,7.4%の出現率であった。幼虫と,職蟻が10頭以上出現したコロニーでは,兵蟻が認められたのは25個のうち20個で80%であった。すなわち幼虫と職蟻の個体数が多くなるほど,兵蟻の出現率は高くなる。副生殖虫についていえば,多くの副女王・副王が職蟻やニンフのグループから発現した。また50∼200頭職蟻区の間において,職蟻の個体数が多いほど,副生殖虫の発現は容易であった。これらの実験の結果から,ヤマトシロアリの階級分化は,コロニーを構成している個体数に,容易に影響されることがわかった.

Ecology and Evolution, 2019 One of the most striking examples of phenotypic plasticity is the different phenotypes (i.e., castes) within a same nest of social insects. Castes usually derive from a single genotype initially by receiving social cues among individuals during ...
