Foundress
Definition:
(n.) A female founder; a woman who founds or establishes, or who endows with a fund.
Example Sentences:
(1) The strains differ in their conditional sex ratio behavior (the sex ratio response of a female to foundress groups of different sizes).
(2) Using genetic markers, we tracked the sex ratio behavior of individual females of the parasitic wasp, Nasonia vitripennis, in foundress groups of size 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16.
(3) Variation in age at reproductive maturity makes the worker strategy more profitable to some individuals than to others and thus predicts the coexistence of single-foundress and multiple-foundress nesting associations.
(4) Assured fitness returns shows how identical mortality rates can have different consequences for workers and solitary nest foundresses because a solitary foundress will have to necessarily survive for the entire duration of development of her brood, whereas a worker can hope to get proportional fitness returns for short periods of work.
(5) Delayed reproductive maturation lowers the inclusive fitness of a solitary foundress relative to that of a worker.
(6) Delayed reproductive maturation and variation in age at reproductive maturity also select for mixed reproductive strategies so that some individuals whose reproductive maturation is expected to be delayed can first act as workers and later switch over to the role of a queen or foundress.

(13) Data of this type (and not foundress group or "patch" sex ratios) are essential for testing evolutionary models that predict the sex ratio behaviors of individuals.
