Transcriptome changes reveal the genetic mechanisms of the reproductive plasticity of workers in lower termites

Abstract Background The reproductive plasticity of termite workers provides colonies with tremendous flexibility to respond to environmental changes, which is the basis for evolutionary and ecological success. Although it is known that all colony members share the same genetic background and that di...
