Experimental manipulation of queen number affects colony sex ratio investment in the highly polygynous ant Formica exsecta In polygynous (multiple queens per nest) ants, queen dispersal is often limited with young queens being recruited within the parental colony. This mode of ... Rolf,Kümmerli,Ken...
Top crossing is carried out by selecting a single breeder queen (top-cross parent) to contribute all or a significant proportion of the drones needed to inseminate the virgin queens of a closed population. Different population-genetic models were tested by varying the number of queens selected ...
The relative power of queens and workers at controlling sex allocation in the ant Colobopsis nipponicus is investigated in this study. Results show that C. nipponicus completely satisfies Hamilton's assumptions concerning colony social structure: monogyny, monoandry, and no worker reproduction. A...

(Pamilo et al, 1994;Boomsma and Ratneiks, 1996). The cost of diploid males can be high during initial colony growth because diploid males develop in the place of worker females. With single mating, queens either produce no diploid males or suffer a 50% reduction in the number of workers...
