Additional file 12 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
Social insects are important models for social evolution and behavior. However, in many species, experimental control over important factors that regulate division of labor, such as genotype and age,
Raw behavioral data (individual ant positions over time), and summary behavioral data (at the individual, colony, and subcolony levels) for all ant colonies used in 4 experiments, as well as R scripts
The differentiation of workers into different morphological sub-castes (e.g. soldiers) represents an important evolutionary transition and is thought to improve division of labor in social insects. So
本数据集记录了无离散形态工蚁亚阶级的Formica属蚂蚁的任务分配研究数据。研究通过标记重捕法调查了蜜露收集、筑巢和蛋白质觅食三种任务的工蚁任务忠诚度及其与体型的相关性,发现98.6%的重捕工蚁表现出任务忠诚度,且体型变异度高的物种体型与任务表现相关性更强。 论文“Task partitioning in ants lacking discrete morphological worker sub
