PDK1 and HR46 gene homologs tie social behavior to ovary signals.

PDK1 and HR46 gene homologs tie social behavior to ovary signals.

The genetic basis of division of labor in social insects is a central question in evolutionary and behavioral biology. The honey bee is a model for studying evolutionary behavioral genetics because of its well characterized age-correlated division of labor. After an initial period of within-nest tas...
