Current status of a model system: the gene Gp-9 and its association with social organization in fire ants.

PloS one - 6 Nov 2009

Gotzek Dietrich, Ross Kenneth G

Abstract excerpt

The Gp-9 gene in fire ants represents an important model system for studying the evolution of social organization in insects as well as a rich source of information relevant to other major evolutionary topics. An important feature of this system is that polymorphism in social organization is completely associated with allelic variation at Gp-9, such that single-queen colonies (monogyne form) include only...
