Phylogenomic evidence overturns current conceptions of social evolution in wasps (Vespidae)
The hypothesis that eusociality originated once in Vespidae has shaped interpretation of
social evolution for decades and has driven the supposition that preimaginal …

Climbing the social ladder: the molecular evolution of sociality
Genomic tools are allowing us to dissect the roles of genes and genetic architecture in social
evolution, and eusocial insects are excellent models. Numerous hypotheses for molecular …

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 …

The genetics of convergent evolution: insights from plant photosynthesis
The tree of life is resplendent with examples of convergent evolution, whereby distinct
species evolve the same trait independently. Many highly convergent adaptations are also …
