The scaling of growth, reproduction and defense in colonies of Amazonian Termites
Sociobiology, 2018 Phenotypes can evolve through life-history tradeoffs. Termites have been the first eusocial insects on Earth, prompting life history evolution at the colony level. Despite this, termite life-history allocation strategies are poorly known.

The evolution of non-reproductive workers in insect colonies with haplodiploid genetics
eLife, 2015 Eusociality is a distinct form of biological organization. A key characteristic of advanced eusociality is the presence of non-reproductive workers. Why evolution should produce organisms that sacrifice their own reproductive potential in order to aid ...

INSIGHTS OF CASTE DETERMINATIONS IN SOCIAL INSECTS [PDF]
Acta Scientifica Malaysia, 2022 Eusocial insects display caste structures in which reproductive ability is possessed by a single or a few queens while all other colony members act as workers.

Sociobiology, 2023 Insects and fungi are abundant in many environments and often interact. However, little information exists on the fungal infestation of insect eggs. Here, we report an entomogenous fungus similar to Hormiscioideus filamentosus (Blackweel & Kimbrough ...

Saving the injured: Evolution and mechanisms
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2017 Rescue behavior focused on injured individuals has rarely been observed in animals. These observations though are from very different taxa's: birds, mammals and social insects.

A genomic comparison of two termites with different social complexity
Frontiers in Genetics, 2015 The termites evolved eusociality and complex societies before the ants, but have been studied much less. The recent publication of the first two termite genomes provides a unique comparative opportunity, particularly because the sequenced termites ...
