Dopamine production in the brain is associated with caste-specific morphology and behavior in an artificial intermediate honey bee caste

Caste polymorphism in eusocial insects is based on morphological plasticity and linked to physiological and behavioral characteristics. To test the possibility that dopamine production in the brain is associated with the caste-specific morphology and behavior in female honey bees, an intermediate ca...
