MMajoe/Lasius-neglectus-Queen-and-workers: Queen loss fails to elicit physiological and transcriptional responses in workers of the invasive garden ant Lasius neglectus
Puntos clave
The aim is to investigate whether losing the queen affects the physiological and transcriptional responses of worker ants in Lasius neglectus.
Comparison of worker ants' physiological and transcriptional changes post-queen loss.
Analysis conducted using R-scripts and data from multiple manuscript versions.
Assessment of results across provided supplemental tables.
No significant physiological or transcriptional responses were noted in workers after queen loss.
Findings indicate that Lasius neglectus workers maintain stability despite changes in colony structure.
