My group was assigned Kamakura (2011), entitled Royalactin induces queen differentiation in honeybees. I worked with Beth D. to complete this worksheet.
For Assignments:
I chose this assignment because it was very interesting to develop it through the case study process into a full potential model for caste differentiation. This assignment showed me a potential model for a phenomenon, and then further research ended up showing me that a paper can claim to explain something, when it may be a whole combination of factors. I consider it one of my top 4 because I really enjoyed the whole case study process, and this was the start of it. I liked the Kamakura paper, and analyzing it further gave me a better understanding of it.
