“a decreasing trend”

The results indicated that the mRNA expression of SMAD2 and SMAD5 in inhibition groups was significantly suppressed compared with the control group during chick germ cell differentiation in vitro and in vivo ; furthermore, their protein expression was consistent with mRNA expression before and after inhibition, while DNA methylation showed a decreasing trend during germ cell differentiation, implying that the TGF-β/BMP4 signaling pathway could promote male germ cell formation and that DNA methylation may regulate this process (see Figure 3 ).

If social bonding, individual recognition, maintaining group cohesion and cooperation exert the major selection pressure 13 , 54 , then the eusocial species with extremely high reproductive skew towards a single breeding pair might be expected to show the largest brains and cognitive potential, since they live in the largest and most cohesive groups, with a decreasing trend towards the solitary end of the social spectrum.
