Mating frequency, within-colony relatedness and male production in a yellow jacket wasp, Dolichovespula arenaria.

Molecular ecology - 1 Dec 2004

Freiburger Brian J, Breed Michael D, Metcalf Jessica L

Abstract excerpt

We examined the mating frequencies of queens in a social wasp, Dolichovespula arenaria (Vespinae) using DNA microsatellites. Five of the seven colonies supported the hypothesis of single mating by queens. The other two colonies supported two and three matings, with effective paternity of 1.48 and...
