• Sperm limitation and the evolution of extreme polyandry in honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) (2004, background): “…variance hypotheses) resulting in an increased colony fitness, e.g. through more efficient genetic polyethism (Page et al. 1989, 1995; Fuchs and Moritz 1998), reduced genetic load of the sex locus (Crozier and Page 1985; Tarpy and Page 2002) or herd immunity (Hamilton 1987; SchmidHempel 1994).”
• The physical, insemination, and reproductive quality of honey bee queens (Apis mellifera L.) (2011, background): “Second, genetic diversity may reduce the impacts of diploid male production as a consequence of the single-locus sex determination system (Page, 1980; Ratnieks, 1990; Crozier and Pamilo, 1996; Tarpy and Page, 2002 ).”
