Epigenetics in Social Insects: A New Direction for Understanding the Evolution of Castes

Genetics Research International, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Epigenetic modifications to DNA, such as DNA methylation, can expand a genome’s regulatory flexibility, and thus may contribute to the evolution of phenotypic plasticity. Recent work has demonstrated the importance of DNA methylation in alternative queen and worker “castes” in social insects, particularly honeybees.

Highly diverse cuticular hydrocarbon profiles but no evidence for aggression towards non‐kin in the ambrosia beetle Xyleborinus saxesenii

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2024.
We confirmed that different populations of Xyleborinus saxesenii have different chemical profiles. However, we found no evidence for different behavioural responses in relation to these chemical differences, which is surprising considering the typical, highly aggressive response displayed by other social insects in similar situations.
