Sperm mixing in the polyandrous leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex echinatior
The insemination of queens by sperm from multiple males (polyandry) has evolved in a number of eusocial insect lineages despite the likely costs of the behavior. The selective advantages in terms of colony fitness must therefore also be significant and there is now good evidence that polyandry incre...
