i5K Comments for Solenopsis macdonaghi
S. macdonaghi is native to and easily collected in South America. It is 1 of 4 fire ant species known to have both monogyne and polygyne social forms. Remarkably, 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.
