- W2036812251 abstract "In colonies of social Hymenoptera (ants, bees and wasps), workers are often not very closely related to each other, because queens mate with several different males (polyandry) or because several functional queens are present (polygyny). Both characteristics increase genetic variation among the queens' reproductive and worker offspring, but the benefits of this increased variation remain obscure. Here we report an experiment where genetically homogeneous and genetically heterogeneous colonies of the bumble bee, Bombus terrestris, have been exposed to parasitism under field conditions. Colonies of high or low genetic variation were achieved by adding and removing brood from donor colonies. The results showed a consistent effect in that genetically variable colonies experienced reduced parasite loads, i.e. lower prevalence, intensity and parasite species richness, for a range of protozoa, nematodes, mites or parasitoids affecting the workers. We therefore propose that polyandry and/or polygyny of social insects may be beneficial under parasitism." @default.
