| Summary: | 0.82. Analysis of progeny studies from ten monogyny between number of queens and relatedness among queens but also in allozyme markers due to the severe founder colonies and 517 polygyne queens confirmed that colonies is not caused only by the changes of different from zero. There is no certain relationship environment. Genetic factors may also play an Estimates of relatedness relatedness among queens event. The loss of variation in kin-selecting loci may factor in the development of socialite. Microsatellite fashion, codominant, and selectively neutral. favor the polygyne forms in the USA. fire ants lost many alleles not only in microsatellite fire ants. Previous studies showed that the introduced Genetic relatedness is thought to be an important graphics. groups in a laboratory colony are not significantly heterozygosity ranging from 0.53- important role in the evolution of the red imported insects due to their highly polymorphism. In this markers are ideal to estimate relatedness in social markers with alleles varying from 4-7 and expected may indicate that low relatedness of queens within microsatellite markers were inherited in Mendelian polygyne colonies and among queens within aggregated smallest colonies. The near zero relatedness of queens study, we developed five polymorphic microsatellite within aggregated groups in the laboratory colonies within colonies. Relatedness is zero even in the within using five microsatellite markers revealed that |
