Direct, maternal, and sibsocial genetic effects on individual and colony traits in an ant.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Dec 2006

Linksvayer Timothy A

Abstract excerpt

When social interactions occur, the phenotype of an individual is influenced directly by its own genes (direct genetic effects) but also indirectly by genes expressed in social partners (indirect genetic effects). Social insect colonies are characterized by extensive behavioral interactions among...
