Genetic structure and breeding system in a social wasp and its social parasite.

BMC evolutionary biology - 20 Aug 2008

Hoffman Eric A, Kovacs Jennifer L, Goodisman Michael A D

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Social insects dominate ecological communities because of their sophisticated group behaviors. However, the intricate behaviors of social insects may be exploited by social parasites, which manipulate insect societies for their own benefit. Interactions between social parasites and their hosts lead to unusual coevolutionary dynamics that ultimately affect the breeding systems and population structures...
