Octopamine receptor gene influences social grouping in the masked birch caterpillar

Abstract Objective Group-living plays a key role in the success of many insects, but the mechanisms underlying group formation and maintenance are poorly understood. Here we use the masked birch caterpillar, Drepana arcuata, to explore genetic influences on social grouping. These larvae predictably...
