The role of epigenetics, particularly DNA methylation, in the evolution of caste in insect societies
Eusocial insects can be defined as those that live in colonies and have distinct queens and workers. For most species, queens and workers arise from a common genome, and so caste-specific developmental trajectories must arise from epigenetic processes. In this review, we examine the epigenetic mecha...
