  "abstract": "Dependent-lineage ant species challenge conventional assumptions about colony genetic structure and its relationship to colony-level behavior. In dependent-lineage species, queens must mate with males from a different genetic lineage to produce workers, while same-lineage matings produce new queens. This unusual mating system creates colonies with complex genetic architectures that provide a natural experiment for studying the relationship between genotype and division of labor. We discuss how d",
