We fed young workers (days 0–9) diets balanced or unbalanced in their ratio of essential fatty acids (ω-6:3) sourced from pollen or cooking oils. We then measured...

The fitness benefits provided by these cognitive skills, in conjunction with social behaviours, contribute to the success of social insects...
