Multi‐Omics Analysis Reveals TO Gene's Association With Food Selection and Lifespan in Minor‐Worker Ants Post‐Queen Loss

ABSTRACT The queen ant is central to colony reproduction and chemical communication. Removing her causes significant phenotypic changes, such as wing loss and oviposition in virgins, and the emergence of reproductive pseudoqueens. However, the effects of queen loss in the workers of invasive Solenop...
