This project explores the molecular evolution of social traits in ants, focusing on invasive species like fire ants. It employs population genomics to identify genetic factors influencing social behavior and immune responses, aiming to understand adaptation in social structures.
Evolutionary theory struggled to explain animal societies for many decades.
Ultimate explanations were found but little is known about proximate explanations: how do social traits evolve at the molecular level?
Dramatic advances in genome sequencing technologies now allow such questions to be addressed.
Ants are a classical study system for social evolutionary research.
Their impressive ecological success is attributed to sophisticated cooperation and division of labor.
This advantage led some a…
