Strategies of the invasive tropical fire ant (Solenopsis geminata) to minimize inbreeding costs

How invasive species overcome challenges associated with low genetic diversity is unclear. Invasive ant populations with low genetic diversity sometimes produce sterile diploid males, which do not contribute to colony labour or reproductive output. We investigated how inbreeding affects colony found...
