ABSTRACT In a much‐cited 1964 paper entitled “Reproductive efficiency in relation to colony size in hymenopterous societies,” Charles Michener investigated the correlation between a colony's size and its reproductive efficiency – the ability of its adult females to produce reproductives, measured as per‐capita output. Based on his analysis of published

Gene dynamics of haplodiploidy favor eusociality in the Hymenoptera
Abstract The problem of whether haplodiploidy is responsible for the frequent evolution of eusociality in the Hymenoptera remains unresolved. The little‐known “protected invasion hypothesis” posits that because a male will transmit a new allele for alloparental care to all his daughters under haplodiploidy, such an allele has a higher probability of ...
