Sib mating without inbreeding in the longhorn crazy ant.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Sept 2011

Pearcy Morgan, Goodisman Michael A D, Keller Laurent

Abstract excerpt

Sib matings increase homozygosity and, hence, the frequency of detrimental phenotypes caused by recessive deleterious alleles. However, many species have evolved adaptations that prevent the genetic costs associated with inbreeding. We discovered that the highly invasive longhorn crazy ant, Paratrechina longicornis, has evolved an unusual mode of reproduction whereby sib mating does not result in inbreeding. A...
