Development of a Set of Microsatellite Markers to Investigate Sexually Antagonistic Selection in the Invasive Ant <i>Nylanderia fulva</i>

Sexually antagonistic selection (SAS) occurs when distinct alleles are differentially selected in each sex. In the invasive tawny crazy ant, <i>Nylanderia fulva,</i> a genomic region is under SAS, while the rest of the genome is randomly selected in males and females. In this study, we d...
