Multilocus evolution in fire ants: effects of selection, gene flow and recombination.

Genetics - 1 Apr 1997

Ross K G

Abstract excerpt

The reproductive success of individual fire ant queens (Solenopsis invicta) previously has been shown to be strongly influenced by their genotype at a single enzyme-encoding gene, designated Pgm-3. This paper presents evidence that a second, tightly linked gene, designated Gp-9, is under similarly strong selection in these ants. Selection appears to act independently on the two genes and is detectable in only one...
