Effect of a founder event on variation in the genetic sex-determining system of the fire ant Solenopsis invicta.

Genetics - 1 Nov 1993

Ross K G, Vargo E L, Keller L, Trager J C

Abstract excerpt

Effects of a recent founder event on genetic diversity in wild populations of the fire ant Solenopsis invicta were studied, with particular attention given to the genetic sex-determining system. Diploid males are far more common relative to haploid males in introduced populations than in native p...
