Gynandromorphs as indicators of modularity and evolvability in ants.

Journal of experimental zoology. Part B, Molecular and developmental evolution - 15 Jul 2011

Yang Andrew S, Abouheif Ehab

Abstract excerpt

Gynandromorphs, individuals that display a mosaic of male and female tissues or cell populations, have been extensively documented in solitary and social insects for over 100 years. Yet the evolutionary significance of gynandromorphs has remained obscure. Here we describe our discovery of a gynandromorph in the hyperdiverse ant genus Pheidole whose pattern of bilateral head mosaicism occurs repeatedly across a...
