The molecular and evolutionary genetic implications of being truly social for the social insects
2015, Advances in Insect PhysiologyCitation Excerpt :Similarly, when social regulation of the larval nutritional environment is artificially manipulated, caste-related characters are affected (Dedej et al., 1998; Wang et al., 2014). This also occurs when provisioning is more naturally manipulated, by cross-fostering larvae between honey bee strains (Allsopp et al., 2003; Linksvayer et al., 2009, 2011; Osborne and Oldroyd, 1999). These studies demonstrate that the caste developmental programme includes nurse worker genes with IGEs on caste, so that focusing solely on direct genetic effects expressed in developing larvae yields an incomplete picture of the genetic basis of caste.
