Hi,

I am aware of Tetramorium Bicarinatum, but what other species of ant are known to be inbreeders?

Just curious.

There are lots of ants that can inbreed, too many to name. Some of the most notable examples are paratrechina longicornis, monomorium pharaonis, tapinoma sessile, pheidole megacephala and linepithema humile.
