Maternal effect genes and the evolution of sociality in haplo-diploid organisms.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Mar 2001

Wade M J

Abstract excerpt

Maternal care and female-biased sex ratios are considered by many to be essential prerequisites for the evolution of eusocial behaviors among the hymenoptera. Using population genetic models, I investigate the evolution of genes that have positive maternal effects but negative, direct effects on offspring fitness. I find that, under many conditions, such genes evolve more easily in haplo-diploids than in...
