Genetic divergence between the sympatric queen morphs of the ant Myrmica rubra.

Molecular ecology - 1 May 2015

Leppänen Jenni, Seppä Perttu, Vepsäläinen Kari, Savolainen Riitta

Abstract excerpt

Pairs of obligate social parasites and their hosts, where some of the parasites have recently diverged from their host through intraspecific social parasitism, provide intriguing systems for studying the modes and processes of speciation. Such speciation, probably in sympatry, has also been propounded in the ant Myrmica rubra and its intraspecific social parasite. In this species, parasitism is associated with...
