Males not needed in society - Termite society, that is

For the first time, scientists have discovered all-female termite colonies, living and flourishing in Japan. While we know of several insect species that easily thrive without any males, this is an exciting new development in our understanding of asexual reproduction.

While termites also have a queen that produces the majority, if not all, of the colony's offspring, they also have her counterpart - a king - who fathers the offspring. Colonies also typically consist of an equal mix of asexual male and female workers, which work together for the good of the colony.

But when studying colonies of the species Glyptotermes nakajimai in Japan, researchers were surprised to discover that some seemed to have not a single male among the insects they counted.

According to the team, the termites are already showing morphological and population differences; the insects heads in the all-female colonies are more evenly sized, and the all-female colonies have fewer soldiers.

For now, though, while they're still technically the same species, the discovery is indicative that the dynamics of advanced animal societies can change significantly.

"Our findings demonstrate that completely asexual social lineages can evolve from mixed-sex termite societies, providing evidence that males are dispensable for the maintenance of advanced animal societies in which they previously played an active social role,"
