Reproductive inhibition among nestmate queens in the invasive Argentine ant
Abstract In social species, the presence of several reproductive individuals can generate conflict. In social insects, as queen number increases, individual oviposition rate may decrease because of direct and indirect behavioural and/or chemical interactions. Understanding the factors that mediate d...
