Development of a Set of Microsatellite Markers to Investigate Sexually Antagonistic Selection in the Invasive Ant Nylanderia fulva

Sexually antagonistic selection (SAS) occurs when distinct alleles are differentially selected in each sex.In the invasive tawny crazy ant, Nylanderia fulva, a genomic region is under SAS, while the rest of the genome is randomly selected in males and females.In this study, we designed a suite of 15 microsatellite markers to study the origin and ev
