3. Adaptive significance of queen mating frequency in ants : In search of benefits of genetic variability
Abstract : Fitness effects of polyandry, multiple mating by females, were studied on two ant speciesLasius niger and Formica truncorum. Particular emphasis was put on evaluating diploid male load, which happens when homozygosity in the sex determination locus leads to intendedfemales developing into sterile, diploid males. READ MORE
