Should multinationals care about development? Rethinking global strategy in an unequal world

Global Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary While multinational corporations (MNCs) can profoundly shape global development trajectories, global strategy research has largely treated development as peripheral to core strategic concerns. This Perspective paper examines the contested relationship between global strategy and development, arguing that MNCs are neither ...

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 ...

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Genetic variation in South Indian castes: evidence from Y-chromosome, mitochondrial, and autosomal polymorphisms

BMC Genetics, 2008
Background Major population movements, social structure, and caste endogamy have influenced the genetic structure of Indian populations. An understanding of these influences is increasingly important as gene mapping and case-control studies are initiated

Differential Gene Expression and Protein Abundance Evince Ontogenetic Bias toward Castes in a Primitively Eusocial Wasp [PDF]

, 2010
Polistes paper wasps are models for understanding conditions that may have characterized the origin of worker and queen castes and, therefore, the origin of paper wasp sociality.

The European honey buzzard (Pernis apivorus) as an ally for the control of the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax)

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2237-2247, April 2025.
The predatory effect of the honey‐buzzard affects the reproductive performance of Asian‐hornet colonies, decreasing the density of workers over distance and time. The foraging distances of the honey‐buzzard concentrates within the first 2000 m from nest, which supports the results observed.

The Phenotypic Effects of Royal Jelly on Wild-Type D. melanogaster Are Strain-Specific.

PLoS ONE, 2016
The role for royal jelly (RJ) in promoting caste differentiation of honeybee larvae into queens rather than workers is well characterized. A recent study demonstrated that this poorly understood complex nutrition drives strikingly similar phenotypic ...

Reproductive Soldier Development Is Controlled by Direct Physical Interactions with Reproductive and Soldier Termites

Insects, 2021
In eusocial insects (e.g., ants, bees, and termites), the roles of different castes are assigned to different individuals. These castes possess unique phenotypes that are specialized for specific tasks.
