Increased genetic diversity from colony merging in termites does not improve survival against a fungal pathogen
In some species of social insects the increased genetic diversity from having multiple breeders in a colony has been shown to improve pathogen resistance. Termite species typically found colonies from single mated pairs and therefore may lack the flexibility to buffer pathogen pressure with increase...
