Statement:
We study social evolution in ants by comparing genomes of different species and looking for the genes responsible for the evolution of sociality. Furthermore, genomic sequencing of many individuals from the same species allows studies of the recent evolution of social traits in specific systems such as the “social chromosome” of the fire ant Solenopsis invicta.
