Effects of social organization and elevation on spatial genetic structure in a montane ant
Auteur(s) : Fontcuberta, Amaranta; Kapun, Martin; Tran Van, Patrick; Purcell, Jessica; Chapuisat, Michel
Abstract : 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...

Journal : Ecology and Evolution
Fine-scale habitat heterogeneity favours the coexistence of supergene-controlled social forms in Formica selysi
Auteur(s) : Zahnd, S.; Fontcuberta, A.; Koken, M.; Cardinaux, A.; Chapuisat, M.
Abstract : 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...

Journal : BMC Ecology and Evolution
Disentangling the mechanisms linking dispersal and sociality in supergene-mediated ant social forms
Auteur(s) : Fontcuberta, Amaranta; De Gasperin, Ornela; Avril, Amaury; Dind, Sagane; Chapuisat, Michel
Abstract : 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...

Designing Inter- and Transdisciplinary Research on Mountains: What Place for the Unexpected?
Auteur(s) : 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
Abstract : 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
Auteur(s) : FONTCUBERTA, Amaranta
Abstract : 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.
Auteur(s) : Fontcuberta García-Cuenca, A.; Dumas, Z.; Schwander, T.
Abstract : 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.
Auteur(s) : 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.
Abstract : 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...
