 OR308 The developmental basis of caste evolution in ants Ehab Abouhe   For over 100 years, social insect biologists, from Darwin, to William Morton Wheeler and E.O Wilson, have been fascinated by the remarkable morphological diversity of the worker castes of ants. However, the origin and evolution of worker caste diversity remains a fundamental, yet unresolved, question.
