Facultative asexual reproduction and genetic diversity of populations in the humivorous termite Cavitermes tuberosus.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 15 Jun 2016

Fournier Denis, Hellemans Simon, Hanus Robert, Roisin Yves

Abstract excerpt

Termite colonies are typically founded by a pair of sexually reproducing dispersers, which can sometimes be replaced by some of their offspring. Some Reticulitermes and Embiratermes species routinely practice asexual queen succession (AQS): the queen is replaced by neotenic daughters produced by parthenogenesis, which mate with the primary king. Here, to cast light on the evolution of AQS, we investigated another...
