i5K Comments for Solenopsis interrupta
S. interrupta, native to S. America, is a monogynous species that is phylogenetically basal to 4 fire ant species having both monogyne and polygyne social forms. The differences in queen number and other phenotypes between the 2 social forms are caused by polymorphisms at a selfish supergene. Comparative genomics among the socially polymorphic and strictly monogynous fire ant species (7 proposed) and with the S. invicta reference genome will be revealing for selfish gene action, species invasiveness, social behaviour, and the evolution of polygyny.
