Dynamic metabolic changes occurring in neurons are critically important in directing brain
plasticity and cognitive function. In other tissue types, disruptions to metabolism and the …

Neonicotinoid insecticides are successfully applied to control pests in a variety of
agricultural crops; however, they may not only affect pest insects but also non-target …

Pheromones and other kinds of chemical communication underlie the behavior of all
animals. Building on the strengths of the first edition, widely recognized as the leading text in …

Phenotypic plasticity (the ability of a single genotype to produce multiple phenotypes in
response to variation in the environment) is commonplace. Yet its evolutionary significance …

In this article, I seek to update the sociogenomic model of personality traits (Roberts &
Jackson, 2008). Specifically, I seek to outline a broader and more comprehensive theoretical …

Although DNA methylation is an important gene regulatory mechanism in mammals, its
function in arthropods remains poorly understood. Studies in eusocial insects have argued …

Genomic tools are allowing us to dissect the roles of genes and genetic architecture in social
evolution, and eusocial insects are excellent models. Numerous hypotheses for molecular …

Tremendous progress has been made in our understanding of the ultimate and proximate
mechanisms underlying social behavior, yet an integrative evolutionary analysis of its …

We report the draft genome sequence of the red harvester ant, Pogonomyrmex barbatus.
The genome was sequenced using 454 pyrosequencing, and the current assembly and …

Behavior is a complex phenotype that is plastic and evolutionarily labile. The advent of
genomics has revolutionized the field of behavioral genetics by providing tools to quantify …
