The evolution of alternative reproductive tactics in male cardiocondyla ants.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2010

Jan Oettler, Jan Oettler, Jürgen Heinz

Abstract excerpt

Alternative reproductive tactics are often associated with discontinuous variation in morphology but may evolve independent from each other. Based on life-history data and a phylogeny we examine how male morphology and reproductive behavior are linked in the evolution of the ant genus Cardiocondyla. Wingless Cardiocondyla males engage in lethal fighting for access to female sexuals, whereas winged males disperse...
