Tracking a major evolutionary transition to superorganismality

Major transitions in evolution are associated with the loss of independent reproduction by formerly autonomous units. Termites provide a powerful system for studying this process because they exhibit diverse social systems in which workers’ developmental and reproductive potential declines with increasing colony-level...

A Hymenoptera-restricted gene mediating ant castes co-opts deeply conserved machinery to control organ size

Expressing torch heterologously in mice and a growth-restricted Drosophila background shows that the gene retained its general growth-promoting activity across more than 700 million years of animal evolution in lineages that lack the gene, establishing that its function is mediated through conserved rather than ant-spe...
