       This finding that some ant queens can lay eggs of another species is astonishing. Biology is far stranger than we can possibly imagine.#Ants #Science #Evolutionhttps://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-02807-0

       @futurebird @alexwild I&#39;m curious to know how did such a system evolved. And what happened to the males of M. ibericus:&quot;[Q]ueen Iberian harvester ants (Messor ibericus) are sexual parasites that rely on the sperm of males of the ant species Messor structor.&quot;
