Social complexity, life-history and lineage influence the molecular basis of caste in a major transition in evolution

Abstract: Major evolutionary transitions describe how biological complexity arises; e.g. in the evolution of complex multicellular bodies, and superorganismal insect societies. Such transitions involve the evolution of division of labour, e.g. as queen and worker castes in insect societies. A key mechanistic hypothesis for the evolution of division of labour is that a shared set of genes co-opted from a common solitary ancestral ground plan - a so-called genetic toolkit for sociality - regulate insect castes across diff… Show more
