Ant Collective Behavior Is Heritable and Shaped by Selection.

The American naturalist - 1 Nov 2020

Walsh Justin T, Garnier Simon, Linksvayer Timothy A

Abstract excerpt

AbstractCollective behaviors are widespread in nature and usually assumed to be strongly shaped by natural selection. However, the degree to which variation in collective behavior is heritable and has fitness consequences-the two prerequisites for evolution by natural selection-is largely unknown. We used a new pharaoh ant (Monomorium pharaonis) mapping population to estimate the heritability, genetic...
