Molecular signatures of alternative fitness strategies in a facultatively social hover wasp

B. A. Taylor, D. Taylor, A. Bodrug-Schepers, F. Camara Ferreira, N. Stralis-Pavese, H. Himmelbauer, R. Guigo, M. Reuter, S. Sumner

The paper analyzes transcriptomic data from a facultatively social hover wasp to compare molecular signatures of reproductive and non-reproductive castes, finding distinct gene expression patterns linked to foraging effort and reproductive strategies.

Genetic toolkit for sociality predicts castes across the spectrum of social complexity in wasps

C. D. R. Wyatt, M. Bentley, D. Udall, R. E. Brock, B. A. Taylor, E. Bell, E. Leadbeater, S. Sumner

The paper uses machine learning on brain transcription data from Vespid wasps to show a shared genetic toolkit across social complexity, with additional processes in more complex societies.

Specialisation and plasticity in a primitively social insect

S. Patalano, A. Alsina, C. Gregorio-Rodriguez, M. Bachman, S. Dreier, I. Hernando-Herraez, P. Nana, S. Balasubramanian, S. Sumner, W. Reik, S. Rulands

The paper shows how a primitive social insect achieves both specialization and plasticity by integrating antagonistic processes across different scales.
