This project investigates how new species form by exploring the roles of genetics, epigenetics, and gene expression in reproductive isolation. Using wood ants and their hybrids, it combines genomic data with protein modeling to enhance understanding of speciation and its ecological implications.
The enormous amount of diversity that surrounds us raises one of the key questions in evolutionary biology:
How do new species originate?
Speciation depends on the evolution of reproductive isolation but, with few exceptions, the genes underlying reproductive isolation and their modes of action are unknown.
The novelty of this project lies in testing if, in addition to mutations in genes, epigenetics and gene expression are mechanisms that contribute to the process of speciation.
