This study identifies genetic loci associated with cuticular hydrocarbon variation in the desert ant Cataglyphis niger, revealing a polygenic architecture underlying chemical signaling traits.

This paper identifies a new supergene in desert ants associated with social polymorphism, showing that social chromosomes are ancient and conserved across Hymenoptera.

This study evaluates kinship inference in sedimentary ancient DNA by simulating data and applying a heterozygosity-based test to identify multi-contributor samples.

This study compares genomic approaches for mapping colony-level traits, finding that whole-genome pool-seq provides greater QTL detection power than reduced representation pool-seq.

The paper investigates whether distinct mitochondrial DNA lineages in desert ants are incipient species or social polymorphism within a single species.
