Includes bibliographical references (leaves 89-94). Eusocial insects, in particular ants, demonstrate great variability in their sociogenetic structure with regards to colony organization, queen number, queen mating frequency, levels of relatedness and worker reproduction. Within this study I perform an analysis on two groups of ant nests of the species Campo notus klugii, in order to investigate how the genetic structure may inform us of the sociogenetic structure of the species. 2014-07-30T17:40:24Z 2014-07-30T17:40:24Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/4305 eng application/pdf Department of Molecular and Cell Biology Faculty of Science University of Cape Town
