Caste-specific expression of genetic variation in the size of antibiotic-producing glands of leaf-cutting ants
Social insect castes represent some of the most spectacular examples of phenotypic plasticity, with each caste being associated with different environmental conditions during their life. Here we examine the level of genetic variation in different castes of two polyandrous species of Acromyrmex leaf-...
