Scientists from the University of Copenhagen have revealed how a specific hormone regulates ant caste differentiation by phenotypic measurements of organ-level developmental changes and matching transcriptome analyses. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study titled “Juvenile hormone as a key regulator for asymmetric caste differentiation in ants” significantly enhances the understanding of caste development and evolution.
