Differential Selection on Caste-Associated Genes in a Subterranean Termite

Insects, 2022
Analyzing the information-rich content of RNA can help uncover genetic events associated with social insect castes or other social polymorphisms. Here, we exploit a series of cDNA libraries previously derived from whole-body tissue of different castes as

Differential Protein Expression in Honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) Larvae: Underlying Caste Differentiation

PLoS ONE, 2010
Honeybee (Apis mellifera) exhibits divisions in both morphology and reproduction. The queen is larger in size and fully developed sexually, while the worker bees are smaller in size and nearly infertile. To better understand the specific time and underlying molecular mechanisms of caste differentiation, the proteomic profiles of larvae intended to grow

Living with tigers: Perceptions of risk, equity, and cultural change amidst tiger attacks in a reserve's buffer zone

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Large carnivores are widely promoted as flagship species in biodiversity conservation, yet, in high‐density landscapes they generate risks to human lives and livelihoods that are unevenly distributed. Understanding how coexistence is sustained under such conditions raises questions of governance, equity, and whose costs are normalized.

Evolutionary relationship of fat body endoreduplication and queen fecundity in termites

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Endoreduplication or nuclear genome replication without cell division is widely observed in the metabolically active tissues of plants and animals. The fat body cells of adult female insects produce abundant yolk proteins and become polyploid, which is ...

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.

Exclusion and Exposure: How Social Inequality and Marginalization Shape Climate Vulnerability and Adaptation in Rural Communities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change affects all individuals, regardless of wealth, social class, or religious background, though its impacts and adaptation strategies vary. While existing literature examines climate change adaptation based on farming categories, geographic regions, and cropping systems, limited research explores how social class shapes adaptation ...

Multiple Convergent Origins of Workerlessness and Inbreeding in the Socially Parasitic Ant Genus Myrmoxenus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The socially parasitic ant genus Myrmoxenus varies strongly in fundamental life history traits, such as queen-worker ratio, the timing of sexual production, and mating behavior.

Does Economic Growth Drive Equitable Water and Sanitation Access? Assessing Inequality Reduction Across 64 Nations

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines whether economic growth reduces inequalities in access to water and sanitation across 64 countries over an average period of 13.5 years. Drawing on disaggregated data by income quintiles and rural–urban location, and employing ordinary least squares (OLS), two‐stage least squares (2SLS), and Seemingly Unrelated Regression

Buddhism: an atheistic and anti-caste religion? : Modern ideology and historical reality of the ancient Indian Bauddha Dharma [PDF]

, 2001
The historian has to safeguard the strangeness of the past. Therefore, religio-historical research has to scrutinise the reconstruction of the real history of religions by religious ideologies of the present.

Fixing the Leaky Pipeline: Affirmative Action in Local Elite Colleges and Subject Choice

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Women are largely underrepresented in STEM careers associated with higher labor market returns. This gender gap is even more stark in a context where societal biases are prevalent and female role models are lacking. This paper investigates the impact of an affirmative action (AA) policy implemented in an elite educational institution in India ...
