Evidence for mating plugs in the fire ant Solenopsis invicta by MIKHEYEV, A. S

“…Male inhibition of female re-mating is common in many insects. Mating plugs, used by males to control female re-mating, have been postulated in several ant…”

Reproductive decisions by honey bee colonies: tuning investment in male production in relation to success in energy acquisition by SEELEY, T. D, MIKHEYEV, A. S

“…One way to understand the adaptive design of the life history of a social insect colony is to view the colony as having an investment policy whereby it…”

Male accessory gland size and the evolutionary transition from single to multiple mating in the fungus-gardening ants by Mikheyev, A S

“…Polyandry in hymenopteran social insects is surprisingly rare, despite its likely colony-level fitness benefits. Ordinarily, a male's fitness will be at odds…”
