Intragenomic conflict associated with extreme phenotypic plasticity in queen-worker caste determination in honey bees (Apis mellifera)
Abstract Background Caste determination of honey bees (Apis mellifera) exemplifies developmental plasticity, where differences in larval diet result in identical genotypes yielding either long-lived, reproductive queens or short-lived, facultatively sterile workers. Beyond environmental factors, int...
