Fig. 6. Diagram integrating conclusions of previous studies on R. flavipes
caste regulation with those of the present study. Solid arrows indicate
known/observed relationships, and broken arrows represent putative or proposed
relationships. (A) Relationship between juvenile hormone (JH), hexamerin and
JH-responsive developmental gene networks [taken from Zhou et al.
(Zhou et al., 2007)]. The two
principal effects observed in the present study were those of temperature (B)
and feeding/nutritional status (C). Significant temporal developmental effects
were also observed; however, the potential influences of this remain unclear,
as well as their effects on downstream factors such as feeding and nutritional
status.
