Ants improve the reproduction of inferior morphs to maintain a polymorphism in symbiont aphids
Identifying stable polymorphisms is essential for understanding biodiversity. Distinctive polymorphisms are rare in nature because a superior morph should dominate a population. In addition to the three known mechanisms for polymorphism persistence, we recently reported a fourth mechanism: protectio...
