Schematic drawings of classical (Nijhout and Wheeler, 1982; left) and recent (Cornette et al., 2008; right) models on the transitions of JH titer (vertical axis) during intermolt period of pseudergate (horizontal axis) before caste differentiation. Caste names at the far left indicate the future castes determined by the JH patterns. According to Cornette et al. (2008), changes in JH titers during the pseudergate stage before the differentiation into soldiers or alates were consistent with classical models. There were some differences between the model and measured titers in the case of stationary molts.
