Empirical and theoretical studies of conflict over female caste in social hymenoptera

In most species of social insects females occur in two morphologically distinct castes: reproductives (queens) and workers. The project will investigate conflict over the caste fate of female larvae using Melipona bees and Myrmica ants as experimental systems, and by mathematical modeling.
