Behavioral differences between Pogonomyrmex rugosus and dependent lineage (H1/H2) harvester ants

The discovery of genetic caste determination (GCD) in population of Pogonomyrmex harvester ants raises many questions about the evolution and persistence of such populations. The genetic caste determination arises from the existence of two distinct, but mutually dependent, genetic lineages within a...
