High recombination frequency creates genotypic diversity in colonies of the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex echinatior.

Abstract excerpt

Honeybees are known to have genetically diverse colonies because queens mate with many males and the recombination rate is extremely high. Genetic diversity among social insect workers has been hypothesized to improve general performance of large and complex colonies, but this idea has not been tested in other social insects. Here, we present a linkage map and an estimate of the recombination rate for Acromyrmex...
