Within-colony genetic diversity differentially affects foraging, nest maintenance, and aggression in two species of harvester ants
There is accumulating evidence that genetic diversity improves the behavioral performance and consequently the fitness in groups of social animals. We examined the behavioral performance of colonies of two co-occurring, congeneric harvester ant species (Messor arenarius and a non-described Messor sp...
