i5K Comments for Cataglyphis cursor
Cataglyphis cursor queenless workers are able to produce new male and female sexuals through parthenogenesis. Interestingly, queens also use parthenogenesis to produce new queens, while workers arise from fertilized eggs. Genome sequencing will allow investigating the molecular mechanisms triggering worker and queen parthenogenesis in this species. It will also serve as a reference for comparative studies with the other species of the genus, who display a wide variety of reproductive strategies. Serge Aron
