Molecular mechanisms of phenotypic plasticity: Explorations of DNA methylation and transcriptional regulation using the honey bee
Honey bee behavioral maturation exemplifies phenotypic plasticity, the ability of a single genotype to produce multiple phenotypes in response to environmental conditions (Scheiner, 1993; West-Eberhard, 1989). Behavioral maturation in honey bees is characterized by a socially regulated transition …
