Hi,

I would appreciate a second opinion on this item:

[ 1239035 ] caste development (sensu Insecta)
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1239035&group_id=36855&atid=440764


It is a new term request for:

term: caste development (sensu Insecta)

definition: The process that generates morphologically
distinct phenotypes that perform different functions in
a colony of social insects. Hormonal control of caste
development is integrated with larval and pupal
development. Polyphenism refers to discontinuous
phenotypic variation.
