Changes in mating system and social structure of the ant Petalomyrmex phylax are associated with range expansion in Cameroon.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Mar 2007

Abstract excerpt

Past climate shifts have led to major oscillations in species distributions. Hence historical contingencies and selective processes occurring during such phases may be determinants for understanding the forces that have shaped extant phenotypes. In the plant-ant Petalomyrmex phylax (Formicinae), we observed spatial variation in number of queens in mature colonies, from several queens (high polygyny) in the median...
