蚂蚁是研究利他主义进化的有趣对象。本研究在一种红木蚁（Formica（s.）字符串）yessensis随机扩增多态性DNA片段，研究种群和群体内的遗传结构。5个位点在两个F.（s.字符串）yessensis和F.（s. str.）truncorum和两个也多态的一个相关的物种，Polyergus武士。结果表明，这些位点将是有用的进化研究的Formica和Polyergus物种。
Ants are interesting subjects for studies of evolution of altruism. We developed 13 microsatellite loci in a red wood ant Formica (s. str.) yessensis from random amplified polymorphic DNA fragments to study genetic structure within populations and colonies. Five loci bore two to five alleles in both F. (s. str.) yessensis and F. (s. str.) truncorum and two were also polymorphic in a related species, Polyergus samurai. Results suggest that the loci will be useful in evolutionary studies on Formica and Polyergus species.
