In sessile organisms such as plants and benthic invertebrates, founding propagules typically suffer extremely high rates of mortality due to both extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Many social insect species share similarities with these groups, but fa

Multiple mating by females is taxonomically widespread and intensively studied from the perspective of why females mate with many males. In many multiply mating species, females can vary substantially in mating frequency, but the causes of this varia

ABSTBACT Colonies of the western harvester ant (Pogonomyrmex occidentalis Cresson) with greater genetic diversity begin foraging earlier, forage for longer durations, and collect more food than those with less genetic diversity. In this study we test

The timing of activity by desert dwelling poikilotherms can be critical to survival. In the western harvester ant, colonies that have higher levels of genetic diversity forage for longer time periods in the morning than colonies with less diversity.

Multiple mating by females characterizes most insect species, but is relatively uncommon in social insects. Females may mate with multiple mates because they experience the direct benefits of increased survival or fecundity, to acquire high quality m

Foraging behavior has been extensively studied in harvester ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae); however, there is little information about the determinants of foraging success. We developed a path analysis model to quantify the functional relationships a

We examined the scale of recruitment limitation in the western harvester ant, Pogonomyrmex occidentalis (Cresson). We measured colony density of 98 plots (0.25 ha) over an area of 500 ha. By applying an interpolation/extrapolation analysis to the spa

Using four highly polymorphic microsatellite markers (12–28 alleles), we gentoyped workers from 63 colonies of Pogonomyrmex occidentalis . Colonies have a single, multiply mated queen, and an average number of 6.3 patrilines per colony. Colony grow

We evaluated the hypothesis that recruitment limitation is important in determining density in harvester ant populations. Combining field observations and experiments, we conclude that the population density of Pogonomyrmex occidentalis is largely de
