Abstract
En 中文
The evolution of complex insect societies, characterized by a reproductive division of labor between queens and workers, represents a major evolutionary transition. Yet, the molecular mechanisms governing caste differentiation remain only partially understood. We summarize recent research advancements in ants and bees with a focus on corbiculate bees, a group of immense ecological and economic importance displaying a broad spectrum of sociality.
