A novel distribution of supergene genotypes is present in the socially polymorphic ant Formica neoclara.

BMC ecology and evolution - 13 Apr 2022

McGuire Darin, Sankovitz Madison, Purcell Jessica

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Supergenes are chromosomal regions with tightly linked clusters of alleles that control compound phenotypic traits. Supergenes have been demonstrated to contribute to the maintenance of polymorphisms within populations in traits as diverse as mimetic wing coloration in butterflies, mating strategies in birds, and malarial susceptibility in mosquitoes. A large supergene also underlies variation in...
