Polistes_metricus_dominance_arrays

ABSTRACT: This experiment examined ovary gene expression differences between females in primitively eusocial Polistes metricus paper wasps. Specifically, we compared expression patterns between groups of females that differed in their reproductive dominance status. We compared dominant and subordinate foundresses, dominant and subordinate workers, and egg-laying queens. The purpose was to investigate how the social environment and dominance status affect ovary gene expression in individual females.
