i5K Comments for Solenopsis xyloni
S. xyloni, native to N. 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 the evolution of polygyny, social behaviour, selfish gene action, and species invasiveness.
