Polyandry and fitness in the western harvester ant, Pogonomyrmex occidentalis.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jun 2004

Wiernasz Diane C, Perroni Christina L, Cole Blaine J

Abstract excerpt

Using four highly polymorphic microsatellite markers (12-28 alleles), we gentoyped workers from 63 colonies of Pogonomyrmex occidentalis. Colonies have a single, multiply mated queen, and an average number of 6.3 patrilines per colony. Colony growth was measured over an 8-year period in the study population. Intracolonial relatedness and colony growth are correlated negatively, indicating a substantial fitness...
