>> The worker/queen divergence happens far earlier - and we all know that, as only larvae of specific very limited ages can be used when grafting queens.
> An adaptive response was revealed after nutritional deprivation during a late larval stage, resulting in complex changes in the adult phenotype and culminating in increased starvation resilience.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but this paper seems irrelevant to the issue of worker/queen divergence.
