Sex allocation theory predicts parents should adjust their investment in male and female offspring in a way that increases parental fitness. This has been shown in several species and selective contexts. Yet, seasonal sex ratio variation within speci

Hybridization and gene flow between diverging lineages is increasingly recognized as a common evolutionary process and its consequences can vary from hybrid breakdown to adaptive introgression. We have previously found a population of wood ant hybrid

According to the inclusive fitness theory, some degree of positive relatedness is required for the evolution and maintenance of altruism. However, ant colonies are sometimes large interconnected networks of nests, which are genetically homogenous ent

Ants have evolved very complex societies and are key ecosystem members. Some ants, such as the fire ant Solenopsis invicta , are also major pests. Here, we present a draft genome of S. invicta , assembled from Roche 454 and Illumina sequencing reads
