Researchers discovered that Iberian harvester ant queens can produce two different species of ants from a single queen through a unique reproductive strategy involving cloning and hybridization, revealing a new mode of reproduction called xenoparity and providing insights into ant evolution and cloning mechanisms.
Researchers discovered that Iberian harvester ant queens can clone males of a different species, Messor structor, bypassing traditional reproductive barriers, a phenomenon termed 'xenoparity,' which challenges existing understanding of species boundaries.
Biologists discovered that Messor ibericus ant queens can produce male offspring of a different species, Messor structor, through a process called xenoparity, involving a form of cloning called androgenesis, challenging traditional ideas of species and reproduction.
