Social organisms are especially vulnerable to pathogens due to the homogeneity of the colony, and the close proximity and extensive interactions among its members. However, the social organization of these groups also offers the potential to provide an effective barrier against the transmission of p

Using inclusive fitness models, this study determines the optimal patterns of split-sex-ratio allocation for hymenopteran workers when colonies have a single queen, and queens mate with either one or two males. This particular colony kin-structure is common in social Hymenoptera. Importantly, the ba

## Abstract The study of alternative genetic systems and mixed modes of reproduction, whereby sexual and asexual reproduction is combined within the same lifecycle, is of fundamental importance as they may shed light on classical evolutionary issues, such as the paradox of sex. Recently, several su
