Evolution of Social Insect Polyphenism Facilitated by the Sex Differentiation Cascade
The major transition to eusociality required the evolution of a switch to canalize development into either a reproductive or a helper, the nature of which is currently unknown. Following predictions from the ‘theory of facilitated variation’, we identify sex differentiation pathways as promising can...
