Figure 1From: Transcriptome analyses of primitively eusocial wasps reveal novel insights into the evolution of sociality and the origin of alternative phenotypesPhenotypes produced through the life cycle of the tropical paper wasp Polistes canadensis. Queens and workers show specific behaviors - reproduction or provisioning, respectively. Foundresses show both worker and queen behaviors, and additionally build new nests, whilst callows (newly emerged females; <2 days old) exhibit none of these behaviors.
