Convergent and complementary selection shaped gains and losses of eusociality in sweat bees
Sweat bees have repeatedly gained and lost eusociality, a transition from individual to group
reproduction. Here we generate chromosome-length genome assemblies for 17 species …

Co-expression gene networks and machine-learning algorithms unveil a core genetic toolkit for reproductive division of labour in rudimentary insect societies
The evolution of eusociality requires that individuals forgo some or all their own reproduction
to assist the reproduction of others in their group, such as a primary egg-laying queen. A …
