Convergent evolution of social hybridogenesis in Messor harvester ants.
Sexual reproduction generally requires no more than two partners. Here, we show convergent evolution of social hybridogenesis, a reproductive system requiring three reproductive partners in harvester ants. In this unorthodox reproductive system, two distinct genetic lineages live in sympatry and queens have to mate with males of their own lineage to produce queens along with males of the altern...
متن کاملEvaluation of Spent Engine Oil and other Natural Materials on the Emergence of Harvester Ants (Messor galla Forel)
Harvester ants (Messor galla Forel) defied various control strategies. Two field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of Spent Engine-Oil and other nature-based materials on their emergence in Maiduguri, Borno State of Nigeria. The treatments evaluated are spot application of spent engine-oil and some natural materials in experiment 1 and individual and equal mixture of Pure Neem ...

متن کاملConvergent Evolution: The Genetics of Queen Number in Ants
Large, non-recombining genomic regions underlie the polymorphism in colony queen number in two distantly related ant species. This illustrates that convergence in complex phenotypes can arise via convergence in general genomic architecture, rather than convergent changes in specific genes.
متن کاملConvergent Genetic Architecture Underlies Social Organization in Ants
Complex adaptive polymorphisms are common in nature, but what mechanisms maintain the underlying favorable allelic combinations? The convergent evolution of polymorphic social organization in two independent ant species provides a great opportunity to investigate how genomes evolved under parallel selection. Here, we demonstrate that a large, nonrecombining "social chromosome" is associated wit...
