Recent research addresses the genomic and physiological factors and fitness effects associated with behavioral variation, within and among colonies, in regulation of activity, cognitive abilities, and aggression. Behavioral variation among colonies...

متن کاملEcology, evolution and division of labour in social insects
Caste and division of labour have formed the core of the study of the organization of insect societies for the past four decades. Indeed, the description and analysis of task allocation between colony members are fundamental to understanding the organization of a complex biological system whose functioning depends upon the behavioural integration of a potentially large number of individuals. Re...
متن کاملEcology and Evolution of Communication in Social Insects
Insect life strategies comprise all levels of sociality from solitary to eusocial, in which individuals form persistent groups and divide labor. With increasing social complexity, the need to communicate a greater diversity of messages arose to coordinate division of labor, group cohesion, and concerted actions. Here we summarize the knowledge on prominent messages in social insects that inform...
