Social evolution: pathways to ant unicoloniality.

Duncan E Jackson1.   

Abstract

Unicolonial ant species live in interlinked populations known as super-colonies, where workers and queens move freely. New research suggests that low intra-specific resource competition leads to an absence of inter-colony aggression.
