Additional file 4 of Time-course RNASeq of Camponotus floridanus forager and nurse ant brains indicate links between plasticity in the biological clock and behavioral division of labor
Purpose: Alteration in light dark cycle leads to changes in daily behavior in mammals. We have previously demonstrated that different light:dark cycle lengths result in dynamic changes in DNA methylat
Division of labor (DOL) is a principal characteristic of workers in mature colonies of many social insect species. In newly initiated ant colonies, however, the first workers (called nanitics) are few
RM: reproductive males. W: workers. The identity of colony (n = 3) and individual (n = 28) were determined at random. (See Table 1 for the number of trials in each colony.).
