Social organisms are especially vulnerable to pathogens due to the homogeneity of the colony, and the close proximity and extensive interactions among its members. However, the social organization of these groups also offers the potential to provide an effective barrier against the transmission of p

The primitively eusocial wasp Ropalidia marginata shows an age-based division of labor in which workers allocate tasks according to their relative ages (age ranks). This age polyethism seems quite flexible because in colonies devoid of old workers, young individuals can perform the tasks normally pe

## Abstract We marvel at the social complexity of insects, marked by anatomically and behaviorally distinguishable castes, division of labor and specializationβ€”but how do such systems evolve? Insect societies are composed of individuals, each undergoing its own developmental process and each contai
