We discuss the evolutionary origin and elaboration of sociality using an indirect genetic
effects perspective. Indirect genetic effects models simultaneously consider zygotic genes, …

Social insects are emerging models to study how gene regulation affects behavior because
their colonies comprise individuals with the same genomes but greatly different behavioral …

Our understanding of insect societies is rapidly expanding due to an emphasis on integrative
approaches. Emerging tools enabling the molecular dissection of social behavior, together …

Recently there has been an explosion of research into the genetics of caste determination,
especially following the discovery of systems where queen-worker caste determination has a …

When social interactions occur, the phenotype of an individual is influenced directly by its
own genes (direct genetic effects) but also indirectly by genes expressed in social partners (…

Social evolution in honey bees has produced strong queen–worker dimorphism for plastic
traits that depend on larval nutrition. The honey bee developmental programme includes both …

A new method for rearing honey bees, Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae), in vitro was
developed and the effects of sugar concentrations on survival and development were studied…

… Next Mikheyev and Linksvayer identified which genes were … Mikheyev and Linksvayer
then investigated how rapidly … Mikheyev and Linksvayer’s findings show that the evolution of …

The equilibrium sequence diversity of genes within a population and the rate of sequence
divergence between populations or species depends on a variety of factors, including …
