Comparative transcriptomic analysis of the mechanisms underpinning ageing and fecundity in social insects
The exceptional longevity of social insect queens despite their lifelong high fecundity remains poorly understood in ageing biology. To gain insights into the mechanisms that might underlie ageing in social insects, we compared gene expression patterns between young and old castes (both queens and w...
