The ant Messor pergandei exhibits geographic variation in whether new queens establish colonies alone or in groups. In regions where group colony establishment occurs, it also appears to differ in whether groups are temporary and end with fatal fighting or whether coexistence is long-term and results in cooperative breeding in adult colonies. This study will determine the distribution of these alternative social behaviors across the species range. In addition, we will determine how these different behaviors are associated with regional differences in the environment.
