Haplodiploidy and the evolution of eusociality: worker reproduction.

The American naturalist - 1 Oct 2013

Alpedrinha João, West Stuart A, Gardner Andy

Abstract excerpt

Hamilton's haplodiploidy hypothesis suggests that the relatively higher relatedness of full sisters in haplodiploid populations promotes altruistic sib rearing and, consequently, the evolution of eusociality. This haplodiploidy effect works when some broods have a relatively female-biased sex ratio and other broods have a relatively male-biased sex ratio, termed split sex ratios. There is empirical evidence for...
