Transcriptome profiling of the spermatheca identifies genes potentially involved in the long-term sperm storage of ant queens
Abstract Females of social Hymenoptera only mate at the beginning of their adult lives and produce offspring until their death. In most ant species, queens live for over a decade, indicating that ant queens can store large numbers of spermatozoa throughout their long lives. To reveal the prolonged s...
