Extended Data Table 2 Determination of developmental stages and caste identities in the two ant species

From: Canalized gene expression during development mediates caste differentiation in ants

  1. *** S: Sexual, including male and female reproductives, which are morphological indistinguishable in larvae and prepupae. We later used microsatellite genotyping to separate males and females. F: Female. G: Gyne. W: Worker. SW: Small worker. MW: Medium worker. LW: Large worker. U: Unknown. For morphological characterization of caste identities and developmental stages in A. echinatior, see: https://megalomyrmex.osu.edu/temp/acro-larva-key/
