This project investigates the genetic basis of social behavior in fire ants, focusing on two social chromosomes that influence colony organization. By studying these chromosomes across related species, it aims to provide insights into the evolution of social structures and supergenes.
Intraspecific phenotypic variation offers unique opportunities to understand the contexts in which traits evolve and how they affect fitness.
However, relatively little is known concerning the molecular-genetic changes underpinning such processes in ecologically relevant contexts.The host recently sequenced the genome of the fire ant Solenopsis invicta and subsequently discovered that two distinct forms of social colony organisation in this species are under control of a pair of social chromosom…
