Sex-specific inhibition and stimulation of worker-reproductive transition in a termite [PDF]
, 2017 In social insects, the postembryonic development of individuals exhibits strong phenotypic plasticity in response to the environment, thus generating the caste system. Different from eusocial Hymenoptera, in which queens dominate reproduction and inhibit
