A socially polymorphic Formica ant species exhibits a novel distribution of social supergene genotypes.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Aug 2022

Pierce Daniel, Sun Penglin, Purcell Jessica, Brelsford Alan

Abstract excerpt

Most supergenes discovered so far are young, occurring in one species or a few closely related species. An ancient supergene in the ant genus Formica presents an unusual opportunity to compare supergene-associated phenotypes and the factors that influence the persistence of polymorphism in different species. We investigate the genetic architecture of social organization in Formica francoeuri, an ant species...
