Age‐ and caste‐independent piRNAs in the germline and miRNA profiles linked to caste and fecundity in the ant Temnothorax rugatulusNARA Subscribed
Social insects are models for studies of phenotypic plasticity. Ant queens and workers vary in fecundity and lifespan, which are enhanced and extended in queens. Yet, the regulatory mechanisms underlying this variation are not well understood. Ant queens live and reproduce for years, so that they need to protect their germline from transposable element (TE) activity, which may be redundant in short‐lived, often sterile workers...
