Evolution of male morphology in the ant genus Cardiocondyla.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Oct 2005

Heinze Jürgen, Trindl Andreas, Seifert Bernhard, Yamauchi Katsusuke

Abstract excerpt

The ant genus Cardiocondyla is characterized by a striking male polymorphism, with wingless, local fighter males (ergatoid males) with life-long spermatogenesis, and winged, peaceful disperser males with limited sperm supply. We examined the evolution of male morphology by reconstructing the phylogeny of Cardiocondyla from sequences of the mitochondrial COI/COII and 16S RNA genes from 13 of the 15 species, of...
