Caste-biased genes in a subterranean termite are taxonomically restricted: implications for novel gene recruitment during termite caste evolution

Caste-biased genes in a subterranean termite are taxonomically restricted: implications for novel gene recruitment during termite caste evolution

by Anna Chernyshova | Jul 5, 2018

Abstract The caste system of social insects presents a classic polyphenism in which widely divergent reproductive and non-reproductive phenotypes are expressed from the same genome. In termites, the sterile soldier caste is particularly divergent in phenotype and...

Soldier-biased gene expression in a termite implies indirect selection for defensiveness

by Anna Chernyshova | May 24, 2018

Abstract In a termite colony, reproduction is monopolized by a small number of sexuals that are supported by an army of reproductively altruistic soldiers and workers. A recent RNA sequencing analysis of the Eastern subterranean termite revealed that most of the...
No Genetic Tradeoffs between Hygienic Behaviour and Individual Innate Immunity in the Honey Bee, Apis Mellifera

No Genetic Tradeoffs between Hygienic Behaviour and Individual Innate Immunity in the Honey Bee, Apis Mellifera

by Anna Chernyshova | Aug 18, 2014

Abstract Many animals have individual and social mechanisms for combating pathogens. Animals may exhibit short-term physiological tradeoffs between social and individual immunity because the latter is often energetically costly. Genetic tradeoffs between these two...
