Intranidal mating, gyne polymorphism, polygyny, and supercoloniality as factors for sympatric and parapatric speciation in ants

2010-01-01

Abstract excerpt

1. The syndrome of intranidal mating, morpho-ethological gyne polymorphism, and polygyny is found in less than 5% of European ant species, but is considered as an important precondition for sympatric and parapatric speciation. 2. This idea is discussed in three cases that represent example of evolution below the species level: (1) the polygynous--polydomous form of Lasius turcicus as a model of how speciation of t...
