i5K Comments for Wasmannia auropunctata
The little fire ant, has invaded tropical and subtropical habitats and greenhouses world-wide. Named after its painful sting, it is among the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s 100 worst invasive species. Some populations of this species show a unique reproductive system in which queens are clones of their mothers and males are clones of their fathers, while other populations reproduce similarly to most ants. We will study the genetic determinants for this plasticity and the extent to which reproductive plasticity contributed to the invasiveness of this species. Laurent Keller
