01Chemical and transcriptomic diversity do not correlate with ascending levels of social complexity in Blattodea

Compared CHC complexity and transcriptomic data across selected Blattodea species representing varying social complexities.
Utilized gas chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS) for CHC analysis.
Constructed a chemical dendrogram based on CHC divergence and correlated it with molecular phylogeny.
Analyzed whole-genome transcriptomes to assess CHC biosynthesis gene diversity.

Key Findings

No consistent pattern of chemical complexity was found correlating with social complexity in Blattodea.
Chemical divergence and transcriptomic repertoire did not reflect levels of social organization.
The study calls for a more cautious interpretation of the relationship between chemical, genetic, and social complexity.
Identified specific CHC compound classes and their associated biosynthesis genes across different species.

Prerequisites

Evolutionary biology and ecology fundamentals
Social insect biology and colony organization
