No supergene despite social polymorphism in the big-headed ant Pheidole pallidula

E. Favreau, C. Lebas, E. Stolle, A. Priyam, R. Pracana, S. Aron, Y. Wurm

The paper investigates whether a supergene region determines social polymorphism in the big-headed ant Pheidole pallidula and finds no evidence of such a region.

Recurring adaptive introgression of a supergene variant that determines social organization

E. Stolle, R. Pracana, F. Lopez-Osorio, M. K. Priebe, G. L. Hernandez, C. Castillo-Carrillo, M. C. Arias, C. I. Paris, M. Bollazzi, A. Priyam, Y. Wurm

The paper shows a supergene variant for multiple-queen colonies in fire ants evolved in one species and spread to others via introgression.

Individual-based modeling of genome evolution in haplodiploid organisms

R. Pracana, R. Burns, R. L. Hammond, B. C. Haller, Y. Wurm

The paper develops an individual-based simulation model for haplodiploid species to study genetic evolution and finds that selection is more effective in these species than in diploids.

Genomic signatures of recent adaptation in a wild bumblebee

T. J. Colgan, A. N. Arce, R. J. Gill, A. Ramos Rodrigues, A. Kanteh, E. J. Duncan, L. Li, L. Chittka, Y. Wurm

This study identifies genomic signatures of recent adaptation in Bombus terrestris bumblebees, revealing genetic diversity and adaptive processes related to environmental interactions.

Degenerative expansion of a young supergene

E. Stolle, R. Pracana, P. Howard, C. I. Paris, S. J. Brown, C. A. Castillo-Carrillo, S. J. Rossiter, Y. Wurm

The paper shows that a young non-recombining region in fire ant social chromosomes has expanded in length by over 30%, demonstrating degenerative expansion during early evolution of non-recombining regions.
