Multiple mating but not recombination causes quantitative increase in offspring genetic diversity for varying genetic architectures.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Rueppell Olav, Meier Stephen, Deutsch Roland

Abstract excerpt

Explaining the evolution of sex and recombination is particularly intriguing for some species of eusocial insects because they display exceptionally high mating frequencies and genomic recombination rates. Explanations for both phenomena are based on the notion that both increase colony genetic d...
