The paper identifies genetic elements within a supergene that influence queen number and body size in Formica lemani by analyzing haplotype-phenotype associations and gene flux.

This study shows that dysregulated parental care in hybrid stickleback fish leads to reduced offspring survival, suggesting it acts as a postzygotic reproductive isolating mechanism.

The paper generates chromosome-level assemblies of the mountain pine beetle to study neo-sex chromosome evolution, revealing rapid degeneration and structural divergence in neo-Y chromosomes.

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of Contortylenchus reversus and analyzes its population structure and host associations using genomic data from host beetles.

The paper identifies two independent origins of an MD haplotype in Formica ants, showing convergent evolution from recombination between ancestral supergene haplotypes.

The paper examines how environmental variation affects the distribution of phenotypic and genetic traits in the ant species Formica podzolica, revealing variation in supergene haplotype frequencies and phenotypic mismatches along a latitudinal gradient.

The paper examines the role of a supergene haplotype in supercolonial Formica ants and finds it absent in supercolonial populations despite its association with polygyny.
