Article Synopsis
- Introgression serves as a key source of adaptive genetic variation, but recombination often disrupts beneficial allele combinations.
- Researchers studied a large supergene region in Solenopsis fire ants that influences whether colonies have one or multiple queens.
- They found that the supergene variant for multiple-queen colonies originated in one species and then spread to others through hybridization, showing how supergene structures help complex traits cross species boundaries.
