Significant reproductive skew in the facultatively polygynous ant Pheidole pallidula.
Reproductive skew - the extent to which reproduction is unevenly shared between individuals in a social group - varies greatly between and within animal species. In this study, we investigated how queens share parentage in polygynous (multiple queen) colonies of the Mediterranean ant Pheidole pallidula. We used highly polymorphic microsatellites markers to determine parentage of gynes (new quee...
متن کاملBayesian analysis of split sex ratios: methods and application to the ant Aphaenogaster rudis
Objective: We develop the use of Bayesian logistic regression models for the analysis of sex ratio data for organisms with variable brood sizes. Background: Ant populations often exhibit ‘split sex ratios’, whereby most colonies produce strongly male-biased or female-biased broods. Furthermore, colony-level sex ratios may depend on brood size or other non-normally distributed covariates. The la...
متن کاملGlobal phylogenetic structure of the hyperdiverse ant genus Pheidole reveals the repeated evolution of macroecological patterns
Adaptive radiations are of particular interest owing to what they reveal about the ecological and evolutionary regulation of biodiversity. This applies to localized island radiations such as Darwin's finches, and also to rapid radiations occurring on a global scale. Here we analyse the macroevolution and macroecology of Pheidole, a famously hyperdiverse and ecologically dominant ant genus. We g...
متن کاملLarval memory affects adult nest-mate recognition in the ant Aphaenogaster senilis.
Prenatal olfactory learning has been demonstrated in a wide variety of animals, where it affects development and behaviour. Young ants learn the chemical signature of their colony. This cue-learning process allows the formation of a template used for nest-mate recognition in order to distinguish alien individuals from nest-mates, thus ensuring that cooperation is directed towards group members ...
متن کاملGenomic organization and transcription of satellite DNA in the ant Aphaenogaster subterranea (Hymenoptera, Formicidae).
A satellite DNA family (APSU) was isolated and characterized in the ant Aphaenogaster subterranea. This satellite DNA is organized in tandem repeats of 162 bp and is relatively AT rich (51.9%). Sequence analysis showed a high level of homogeneity between monomers. Loss of satellite DNA has been detected in queens in relation to workers, because the amount of satellite DNA in queens is about 25%...
