Differential gene expression correlates with behavioural polymorphism during collective behaviour in cockroaches
The goal of this study is to investigate the mechanistic basis for personality variation during collective behaviour in a species with rudimentary societies: the American cockroach. We thus use an approach which combines experimental classification of individuals into behavioural phenotypes (tendencies for short sheltering time (bold individuals) and long sheltering time (shy individuals)) with comparative gene expression.
