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.

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.
