Iberian Ant Queens Rewrite Nature’s Rules by Giving Birth to Hybrid Offspring for Labor—A Secret Colony Strategy Revealed!
This led them to mate with nearby M. structor drones.
Inevitably, this meant M. ibericus became dependent on M. structor for the survival of its species. So, evolution took the next step, and queen ants began cloning M. structor sperm.
“Much like humanity domesticating livestock, they eventually gained control over the reproduction of these males they once exploited in the wild,” Romiguier said. “This domestication of males became possible through their ability to clone a male from another species using just its sperm.”
This phenomenon has yet to be observed in any other animal on Earth.
