Darwin's "neuters" and the evolution of the sex continuum in a superorganism

J. Oettler, T. Wallner, B. Dofka, J. Heinze, N. Eichner, G. Meister, M. Errbii, M. Rehli, C. Gebhard, E. Schultner

The paper identifies three phenotypic entities in ant embryos, including 'neuters', and proposes that haplodiploidy enables a third dimension on the sex continuum in Cardiocondyla obscurior.

Maternal control over caste allocation in the ant Cardiocondyla obscurior

E. Schultner, T. Wallner, B. Dofka, J. Bruelhart, J. Heinze, D. Freitak, T. Pokorny, J. Oettler

The paper shows that queens control caste allocation in Cardiocondyla obscurior, with caste fate determined irreversibly in the egg stage and no caste-specific traits in late development.
