Cooperation among unrelated ant queens provides persistent growth and survival benefits during colony ontogeny
Abstract The fitness consequences of cooperation can vary across an organism’s lifespan. For non-kin groups, especially, social advantages must balance intrinsic costs of cooperating with non-relatives. In this study, we asked how challenging life history stages can promote stable, long-term allianc...
