Using a cross-fostering field experiment to control for differences related to age and environment, weKeywords: animal; article; bee; DNA microarray; female; female infertility; fertility; gene; gene expression profiling; gene expression regulation; genetics; ovary; physiology; social behavior; Animals; Bees; Female; Fertility; Gene Expression Profiling; Gene Expre cDNA microarrays; Major royal jelly proteins; Niemann-Pick c proteins; SociogenomicsTowards a molecular definition of worker sterility: differential gene expression and reproductive plasticity in honey bees200610.1111/j.1365-2583.2006.00678.x2015-12-08
