GENE SEARCH. “The exact nature of the genetic step to the earliest degree of eusociality is still unknown, unlike the cases of winglessness and colony odor, but it is immediately accessible to genetic research. Hunt and Amdam (2005) have suggested that the genetic base of the flexible worker-versus-queen difference in Polistes paper wasps is the same as the genetically based developmental physiology that regulates diapause in solitary Hymenoptera.”
