Programmed cell death and the origin of wing polyphenism in ants: implications for major evolutionary transitions in individuality

Lisa Hanna, Brendon Elias Boudinot, Jürgen Liebig, Ehab Abouheif

The paper investigates the role of programmed cell death (PCD) in the evolution of wing polyphenism and eusociality in ants, showing PCD is involved in wing degeneration in worker larvae across 15 out of 16 tested species.

Resource limitation reveals a twofold benefit of eusociality

Emanuel A. Fronhofer, Jürgen Liebig, Oliver Mitesser, Hans Joachim Poethke

This paper develops a mathematical model showing that eusociality provides two benefits: reducing starvation risk and increasing reproductive output, leading to higher resource use efficiency and carrying capacity.
