Social administration of juvenile hormone to larvae increases body size and nutritional needs for pupation
Social insects often display extreme variation in body size and morphology within the same colony. In many species, adult morphology is socially regulated by workers during larval development. While larval nutrition may play a role in this regulation, it is often difficult to identify precisely what...
