Has gene expression neofunctionalization in the fire ant antennae contributed to queen discrimination behavior?
Abstract Queen discrimination behavior in the fire ant Solenopsis invicta maintains its two types of societies: colonies with one (monogyne) or many (polygyne) queens, yet the underlying genetic mechanism is poorly understood. This behavior is controlled by two supergene alleles, SB and Sb, with ~60...
