Social and genetic characteristics of geographically isolated populations in the ant Formica cinerea.

Molecular ecology - 1 Dec 2001

Goropashnaya A V, Seppä P, Pamilo P

Abstract excerpt

The ant Formica cinerea in northern Europe has geographically isolated populations that were examined using five microsatellite loci. The populations differ widely regarding the social organization of colonies. Based on genetic relatedness (r) among worker nest mates, the populations were classified as M type with monogynous (single queen) colonies (r > 0.59), as P type with polygynous colonial networks (r <...
