This project studies the genetic mechanisms behind the evolution of sex and caste differences in the longhorn crazy ant. By analyzing the unique genetic system of this species, researchers aim to understand how selection influences gene expression and evolutionary rates related to these differences.
The divergent selective pressures experienced by females and males often lead to the evolution of dramatic morphological, physiological and behavioural differences.
Social insects hold a special place for understanding the evolution of phenotypic differences, because one sex at least is subdivided into morphologically distinct reproductive and non-reproductive (worker) castes.
This research program will investigate the molecular mechanisms governing the evolution of sex (male vs female) and cast…
