As a higher social insect, ants have a clear hierarchy within them. According to the different divisions of labor, ant groups mainly include worker ants, soldier ants, male ants, and queen ants. In this paper, the social division of labor and its influencing factors on ants are studied in-depth. The main characteristics, physiological functions and behaviors of different grades of ants are explained, and the strong correlation between them and the social division of labor of ants is discussed from the aspects of gene differential expression, epigenetic regulation and brain specificity. From the behavioral level to the molecular level, this paper reveals the social division of labor and influencing factors of ants and lays an essential foundation for the study of ants' social behavior.
