Sex and Clonality in the Little Fire Ant [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2007 Reproduction systems are controlling the creation of new genetic variants as well as how natural selection can operate on these variants. Therefore, they had historically been one of the main foci of evolutionary biology studies. The little fire ant, Wasmannia auropunctata, has been found to display an extraordinary reproduction system, in which both ...
