This project explores the genetic basis of social evolution in ants, focusing on how complex social structures develop. By studying various ant species, it aims to identify genetic factors that influence social organization and the evolutionary trade-offs involved.
A major question in evolutionary biology is understanding how complex novel phenotypes evolve.
The 20,000 species of ants provide a unique framework to understand which genes are involved in social evolution and which tradeoffs underpin changes in social organization.
Ants are characterized by a remarkable division of labor whereby individuals from specialized castes reproduce (queens, males) while others (workers) build and defend the nest, rear brood and forage for food.
The ancestral social o…
