Androgenesis is a maternal trait in the invasive ant Wasmannia auropunctata.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Sept 2013

Rey Olivier, Facon Benoît, Foucaud Julien, Loiseau Anne, Estoup Arnaud

Abstract excerpt

Androgenesis is the production of an offspring containing exclusively the nuclear genome of the fathering male via the maternal eggs. This unusual mating system is generally considered a male trait, giving to androgenetic males a substantial fitness advantage over their sexually reproducing relatives. We here provide the first empirical study of the evolutionary outcomes of androgenesis in a haplo-diploid...
