| inbreeding and population structure in two pairs of cryptic fig wasp species. | we used recently developed microsatellites to directly estimate inbreeding levels in two pairs of coexisting cryptic fig wasp species ('pegoscapus hoffmeyeri sp. a and sp. b', 'p. gemellus sp. a and sp. b'). previous tests of hamilton's local mate competition (lmc) theory in fig wasps have used the number of dead foundresses in a fig fruit to indirectly estimate the relative contribution of each to the common brood and thereby the level of local mate competition. further, the population level of ... | 2004 | 15140104 |
