Macro- and microgeographic genetic structure in an ant species with alternative reproductive tactics in sexuals.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Dec 2011

Foitzik S, Rüger M H, Kureck I M, Metzler D

Abstract excerpt

The genetic structure of social insect populations is influenced by their social organization and dispersal modes. The ant Hypoponera opacior shows diverse reproductive behaviours with regular cycles of outbreeding via winged sexuals and inbreeding via within-nest mating wingless sexuals that reproduce by budding. This unusual life cycle should be reflected in the genetic population structure, and we studied this...
