Latent gene network expression underlies partial re-evolution of a polyphenic trait in the worker caste of ants

Angelly Vásquez‐Correa, Johanna Arnet, Travis Chen, Ehab Abouheif

The paper shows that latent gene network expression in ant worker castes underlies the partial re-evolution of ocelli, suggesting persistent developmental potentials in polyphenic systems.
