Polygyny and polyandry in small ant societies.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jun 2007

Kellner K, Trindl A, Heinze J, D'Ettorre P

Abstract excerpt

Social insects, ants in particular, show considerable variation in queen number and mating frequency resulting in a wide range of social structures. The dynamics of reproductive conflicts in insect societies are directly connected to the colony kin structure, thus, the study of relatedness patterns is essential in order to understand the evolutionary resolution of these conflicts. We studied colony kin structure...
