  • Fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) are socially polymorphic, with some workers tolerating several queens in their colony and others tolerating just one; this study shows that a non-recombining supergene is responsible for this social polymorphism, and the operation of this genomic region is remarkably similar to that of sex chromosomes.

  • Solenopsis fire ants have a polymorphic social system in which some colonies have multiple queens. Here, Stolle, Pracana et al. show that the supergene that produces the multiple-queen phenotype has spread repeatedly between Solenopsis species by introgression.

  • Genetic variation is key to species evolution. Here the authors sequence two phenotypically distinct populations of the ant Cardiocondyla obscurior, and find accumulations of transposable elements correlating with genetic variation that may have a role in differentiation, adaptation and speciation.
