Figure 4: Intercastes respond less to larvae and have more ILP2 than regular workers.

Figure 4:

(A) Intercastes have more active ovaries than age-matched regular workers in the brood care phase, despite both being in contact with larvae (n≥16, Welch’s t-test; p<0.0001). (B) In the brood care phase (n=19, Mann-Whitney U test; p<0.0001) and (C) in the reproductive phase (n≥12, Mann-Whitney U test; p=0.0043), intercastes have more ILP2 in their insulin-producing cells than age-matched regular workers. Horizontal bars indicate means on all dot plots.
