Investigation of the population genetic structure and mating system in the ant Pheidole pallidula.

Molecular ecology - 1 Sept 2002

Fournier Denis, Aron Serge, Milinkovitch Michel C

Abstract excerpt

The origin of eusociality in haplo-diploid organisms such as Hymenoptera has been mostly explained by kin selection. However, several studies have uncovered decreased relatedness values within colonies, resulting primarily from multiple queen matings (polyandry) and/or from the presence of more than one functional queen (polygyny). Here, we report on the use of microsatellite data for the investigation of...
