So understood, caste ideology is uniform throughout the society. This point has been contested by several ethnographers, especially those working among untouchables whom they often described as more 'egalitarian'. This chapter aims to discuss the concepts of hierarchy and equality among the Paraiyar...

Maternal control of body size is likely to be particularly effective in mass-provisioning species such as social halictids, which lay a single egg on a mass of pollen and nectar deposited in a closed cell, thus providing all the food that the offspring will need to develop into adulthood. ...
We found that several classes of DNA repeats were methylated, as is the case in vertebrate systems. However, the interpretation of this finding in termites was complicated by the fact that many repeats fell within introns, which were often highly-methylated inZ. nevadensis. We thus examined genic...
Recent studies suggest that RNA editing might enhance the diversity of gene products at the post-transcriptional level, particularly to induce functional changes in the nervous system. Using head samples from the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex echinatior, we compare RNA editomes across eusocial castes,...
Elements of competition and mobility long existed within the caste system, but the processes of social change described above increased scope for mobility and emphasized the mutability of caste.Well before the introduction of democratic governance, therefore, social processes facilitated the mobilization of...
Significant overlap is seen in the expression differences observed between drones relative to either of the female castes. This suggests that the haploid system, at this developmental stage, shows clear differences in its non-coding RNA profile to that of the diploid system. High success rates of...
This effect is most probably mediated because the caste differentiation system found in most genera of stingless bees14,15,18,19. In other words, those P. droryana bees that emerged as workers consumed less larval food (ca. ⅓–⅔) and this alteration prevented them from acquiring queen ...
