The ontogeny of selection on genetic diversity in harvester ants.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 8 Jun 2022

Wiernasz Diane C, Cole Blaine J

Abstract excerpt

Selection may favour traits throughout an individual's lifetime or at a particular life stage. In many species of social insects, established colonies that are more genetically diverse outperform less diverse colonies with respect to a variety of traits that contribute to fitness, but whether selection favours high diversity in small colonies is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that selection favours genetically...
