7/07/2005 @ 23:56 GMT

plasticbag : War of the fire ants - the extraordinary reproductive habits where "Males pit their genes against females by chucking DNA out of eggs." - "The result is that both the males and females have their own, independent gene pools, leading some to speculate whether each gender ought to be technically classified as its own species. "

jkottke : Male anf female fire ants maintain their own independent gene pools - "The sperm of the male ant appears to be able to destroy the female DNA within a fertilized egg, giving birth to a male that is a clone of its father. Meanwhile the female queens make clones of themselves to carry on the royal female line."
