Effects of social organization and elevation on spatial genetic structure in a montane ant
Fontcuberta, Amaranta; Kapun, Martin; Tran Van, Patrick; Purcell, Jessica; Chapuisat, Michel
Abstract Studying patterns of population structure across the landscape sheds light on dispersal and demographic processes, which helps to inform conservation decisions. Here, we study...

Disentangling the mechanisms linking dispersal and sociality in supergene-mediated ant social forms
Fontcuberta, Amaranta; De Gasperin, Ornela; Avril, Amaury; Dind, Sagane; Chapuisat, Michel
The coevolution between dispersal and sociality can lead to linked polymorphisms in both traits, which may favour the emergence of supergenes. Supergenes have recently been...

Fine-scale habitat heterogeneity favours the coexistence of supergene-controlled social forms in Formica selysi
Zahnd, S.; Fontcuberta, A.; Koken, M.; Cardinaux, A.; Chapuisat, M.
Social insects vary widely in social organization, yet the genetical and ecological factors influencing this variation remain poorly known. In particular, whether spatially varying selection...

Designing Inter- and Transdisciplinary Research on Mountains: What Place for the Unexpected?
Otero, Iago; Darbellay, Frédéric; Reynard, Emmanuel; Hetényi, György; Perga, Marie-Elodie; Rüegg, Janine; Prasicek, Günther; Cracco, Marina; Fontcuberta, Amaranta; de Vaan, Michiel; García, Javier; Bussard, Jonathan; Clivaz, Christophe; Moos, Christine; Guisan, Antoine; Schaefli, Bettina; Mapelli, Nicola; de Bellefroid, Benoit
In recent decades, research on mountains has become more inter- and transdisciplinary, but a greater effort is needed if such research is to contribute to...

Dispersal and social polymorphism in the Alpine silver ant
FONTCUBERTA, Amaranta
The maintenance of stable genetic polymorphisms is a major question in evolutionary biology. Polymorphism in social organisation is controlled by supergenes in several ant species....

Extreme genetic diversity in asexual grass thrips populations.
Fontcuberta García-Cuenca, A.; Dumas, Z.; Schwander, T.
The continuous generation of genetic variation has been proposed as one of the main factors explaining the maintenance of sexual reproduction in nature. However, populations...

Habitat heterogeneity favors asexual reproduction in natural populations of grassthrips.
Lavanchy, G.; Strehler, M.; Llanos Roman, M.N.; Lessard-Therrien, M.; Humbert, J.Y.; Dumas, Z.; Jalvingh, K.; Ghali, K.; Fontcuberta García-Cuenca, A.; Zijlstra, B.; Arlettaz, R.; Schwander, T.
Explaining the overwhelming success of sex among eukaryotes is difficult given the obvious costs of sex relative to asexuality. Different studies have shown that sex...
