A colony-level optimization model provides a potential mechanism for the evolution of novel castes in eusocial ant colonies
Ant species often have multiple morphologically distinct ‘castes’ within a single colony. Given that most of these castes are involved in non-reproductive tasks, and since such individuals thus never reproduce, the question of how ant castes can evolve is a non-trivial one. Over the years, several m...
