Social Organization Is Associated With Relaxed Selection on Worker Genes in Highly Polygyne Ants
ABSTRACT Ants display a diversity of social structures reflected by differences in caste, nest, and colony organization. Previous research has shown that highly eusocial insects (Hymenoptera) exhibit genome‐wide signatures of relaxed selection due to their smaller effective population sizes. However...
