    Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Department of Entomology, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, IL 61801, USA
    J Exp Biol 208:4641-9. 2005
    ..Our findings suggest that mechanisms linking internal nutritional physiology to foraging in solitary insects have been co-opted to regulate altruistic foraging in a social context...
  2. ncbi Evo-devo and the evolution of social behavior
    Amy L Toth
    Department of Entomology, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, IL 61801, USA
    Trends Genet 23:334-41. 2007
    ..The evo-devo approach, coupled with advances in genomics for non-model genetic organisms, including the recent sequencing of the honeybee genome, promises to advance our understanding of the evolution of social behavior...

    Amy L Toth
    Department of Entomology and Institute for Genomic Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, USA
    Science 318:441-4. 2007
    ..Insulin-related genes were among the differentially regulated genes, suggesting that the evolution of eusociality involved major nutritional and reproductive pathways...

    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 101:17559-64. 2004
    ..Our findings provide critical validation for a model of self-organization explaining how bees are able to respond to fragmentary information with actions that are appropriate to the state of the whole colony...
