This project investigates the genetic basis of social dimorphism in ants, where colonies can have either one or multiple queens. By analyzing genomic data across different ant species, the research aims to uncover the evolutionary mechanisms behind this complex trait.
Understanding how complex traits evolve repeatedly across species remains a major challenge in biology.
The number of queens in an ant colony is an important trait associated with queen lifespan and fecundity, dispersal strategies, and responses to environmental stimuli.
Although colonies of most ant species have either one or multiple queens, more than twelve ant species have evolved social dimorphism: co-existence of single- and multiple-queen colonies in a population.
