Strong mitochondrial DNA similarity but low relatedness at microsatellite loci among families within fused colonies of the termite Reticulitermes flavipes
INSECTES SOCIAUX, 55(2), 190–199.
author keywords: Isoptera; Rhinotermitidae; colony breeding structure; kinship; population genetics; nestmate discrimination
TL;DR:
Interestingly, it was found that merged families had identical or near identical mtDNA haplotypes suggesting a maternally inherited basis to nestmate recognition and colony fusion in R. flavipes.

2006 journal article
Change in movement and subdivision of Myrmica punctiventris (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) colonies in north temperate forests is related to a long-term shift in social organization
INSECTES SOCIAUX, 53(2), 156–160.
author keywords: polydomy; Myrmica punctiventris; nest relocation; ants
TL;DR:
A shift towards more polydomy in this population of M. punctiventris is confirmed and it is suggested that long-term changes in sex allocation are indirectly driving the shift in nesting strategies.

2006 journal article
Distribution and prevalence of Wolbachia in introduced populations of the fire ant Solenopsis invicta
INSECT MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, 15(1), 89–93.
author keywords: fire ants; Solenopsis invicta; Wolbachia
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / genetics; Ants / microbiology; Female; Male; Southeastern United States; Wolbachia / genetics; Wolbachia / isolation & purification
TL;DR:
Wolbachia were detected in ants from two nearby populations in southern Mississippi, with different variants (wsp gene sequences) infecting ants from colonies of the multiple‐queen (polygyne) vs. single‐Queen (monogyne) social forms.

2006 journal article
Relative abundance and comparative breeding structure of subterranean termite colonies (Reticulitermes flavipes, Reticulitermes hageni, Reticulitermes virginicus, and Coptotermes formosanus) in a South Carolina lowcountry site as revealed by molecular markers
ANNALS OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA, 99(6), 1101–1109.
author keywords: population genetics; colony genetic structure; microsatellite; Formosan subterranean termite; eastern subterranean termite
TL;DR:
Results from molecular markers reveal how the various species in a relatively diverse subterranean termite community can vary in abundance, size of colony foraging area and breeding structure, thereby setting the stage for subsequent studies to identify the factors shaping these communities.

2005 journal article
An indirect test of inbreeding depression in the termites Reticulitermes flavipes and Reticulitermes virginicus
BEHAVIORAL ECOLOGY AND SOCIOBIOLOGY, 59(6), 753–761.
author keywords: isoptera; inbreeding depression; genetic structure; microsatellites
TL;DR:
The results suggest that, either directly or indirectly, ID could be a more potent force in the evolution of termite mating systems than is generally appreciated.

2005 journal article
The breeding system and population structure of the termite Reticulitermes grassei in Southwestern France
HEREDITY, 95(5), 408–415.
author keywords: isoptera; breeding system; genetic structure; microsatellites; inbreeding
MeSH headings : Animals; Breeding; Cluster Analysis; France; Genetic Markers; Genetics, Population; Geography; Isoptera / genetics; Isoptera / physiology; Phylogeny
TL;DR:
An unexpected finding was a lack of significant isolation by distance among colonies within populations, indicating that colony reproduction by budding was rare or absent, and suggested that the propensity for colony budding may not be as common as suggested by the literature.

2004 journal article
Colony genetic organization and colony fusion in the termite Reticulitermes flavipes as revealed by foraging patterns over time and space
MOLECULAR ECOLOGY, 13(2), 431–441.
author keywords: breeding system; colony fusion; colony genetic organization; Isoptera; microsatellites; territoriality
MeSH headings : Animals; Feeding Behavior / physiology; Gene Frequency; Genetics, Population; Hierarchy, Social; Isoptera / genetics; Microsatellite Repeats / genetics; North Carolina; Population Dynamics
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated here that subterranean termite colonies with a similarly complex genetic composition can form under natural conditions via the fusion of whole colonies through repeated sampling from individual colonies over time and space.

Population genetics of the socially polymorphic ant Formica podzolica
INSECTES SOCIAUX, 51(4), 309–316.
author keywords: Formicidae; polygyny; relatedness; microsatellites; genetic structure
TL;DR:
It is found that there is no significant differentiation between the sympatric social forms of F. podzolica, nor did differentiation among populations appear to be affected by colony social organization, and unexpected patterns of genetic structure may have resulted from differences either in the spatial distribution of the social forms or in their social flexibility.

A comparison of the colony-founding potential of queens from single- and multiple-queen colonies of the fire ant Solenopsis invicta
ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR, 64, 655–661.
TL;DR:
Results are concordant with the growing body of work that implicates a simply inherited genetic polymorphism for the control of a complex social trait in this ant, and they indicate that the modes of reproduction in polygyne fire ants may show considerable diversity.
