1. Full Text To reproduce or work? Insect castes emerge from socially induced changes in nutrition‐related genes
by Toth, Amy L
Molecular Ecology, ISSN 0962-1083, 06/2017, Volume 26, Issue 11, pp. 2839 - 2841
In social species, there is a fundamental trade‐off between ‘me’ and ‘we’; that is, should I reproduce, or should I work to help others to reproduce? In this...
