群居昆虫是众所周知的动物，它们对同伴表示忠诚，甚至到了典当放弃个人繁殖而与繁殖女王合作的地步。不太为人所知的是，有时几个繁殖的结合在一起，形成一个永久的联盟一夫多妻制的蛋（女王）。在另一些情况下，蚁后会结成临时联盟，这是赢者通吃的垄断繁殖赌博的一部分，而联盟会被一场殊死战斗（字面上的或遗传上的）打破。
Social insects are well known as examples of animals that express allegiance to their fellows, even to the point where Pawns forsake personal reproduction in favor of teaming up with a reproductive Queen. Less well known is that sometimes several reproductives join together to form a permanent alliance of polygynous egg-layers (queens). In other cases, queens enter into a temporary alliance as part of a winner-take-all gamble at monopolizing reproduction, and the alliance is broken by a battle to the death (literally or genetically).
