Some species of termites evolved an outstanding reproductive strategy called asexual queen succession (AQS), in which the primary queen is replaced by multiple parthenogenetically produced daughters (neotenics) that mate with the primary king. When the primary king is eventually replaced, this time by sexually produced neotenic king(s), sex-asymmetric inbreeding occurs and the queen’s genome is more...
. Populations of the desert seed-harvesting ant Pheidole xerophylla are often characterized by high nest density leading to competitive interactions between foragers from different nests. We investigated the inter-nest aggression, spatial distribution and genetic structure of a P. xerophylla population of the Mojave Desert in Southern California. Inter-nest aggression was quantified by standardized...
