Genetic determination of female castes in a hybridogenetic desert ant.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Oct 2014

Darras H, Kuhn A, Aron S

Abstract excerpt

In most social insects, the brood is totipotent and environmental factors determine whether a female egg will develop into a reproductive queen or a functionally sterile worker. However, genetic factors have been shown to affect the female's caste fate in a few ant species. The desert ant Cataglyphis hispanica reproduces by social hybridogenesis. All populations are characterized by the coexistence of two...
