The Environmental, Endocrine, and Epigenetic Basis of Size Plasticity in a Superorganism
From plants to animals, genomes are responsive to environmental variation, the interaction of which can influence developmental processes and facilitate profound consequences on life-history and evolution. The interplay between genes and the environment is known to be mediated by the action of endocrine and epigenetic mechanisms including histone modifications. Ant development is plastic:…
