This project explores the genetic basis of cooperation in social insects, particularly ants, by testing the reproductive groundplan hypothesis. It integrates behavioral analysis with molecular techniques to understand the evolution of division of labor in eusocial species.
The evolution and maintenance of cooperation in the face of inevitable conflicts, is regarded as one of the major questions in biology today.
Answering this question requires understanding both the proximate basis of cooperative behavior and its comparative biology, but studies integrating experimental and comparative approaches are rare.
Social insects are one of the pinnacles of sociality, with societies characterized by reproductive division of labour, one of the major evolutionary transition…
