Species recognition limits mating between hybridizing ant species

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: O R I G et al. from the University Lausanne, Lausanne CH-1015, Switzerland have published the paper: Species recognition limits mating between hybridizing ant species, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of June/29,/2022
  • what: The authors discuss how the CHC-based recognition system of ants may facilitate the establishment of premating barriers to hybridization, independent of hybridization costs. The authors provide evidence that assortative mate preference and species-specific CHC cues occur in both species, and the authors discuss how asymmetries in CHC resemblance and discrimination might bias gene flow between the two . . .
