Gene expression and variation in social aggression by queens of the harvester ant Pogonomyrmex californicus.

Molecular ecology - 1 Aug 2016

Helmkampf Martin, Mikheyev Alexander S, Kang Yun, Fewell Jennifer, Gadau Jürgen

Abstract excerpt

A key requirement for social cooperation is the mitigation and/or social regulation of aggression towards other group members. Populations of the harvester ant Pogonomyrmex californicus show the alternate social phenotypes of queens founding nests alone (haplometrosis) or in groups of unrelated yet cooperative individuals (pleometrosis). Pleometrotic queens display an associated reduction in aggression. To...
