Relationships between phenotype, mating behavior, and fitness of queens in the ant Lasius niger.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 May 2004

Fjerdingstad Else J, Keller Laurent

Abstract excerpt

Considerable attention has focused on why females of many species mate with several males. For social hymenopteran insects, efforts have primarily concentrated on determining whether multiple mating increases colony performance due to the increased genetic diversity. Most of these studies are cor...
