“…The recent sequencing of the first RWA genome by Nouhaud et al [ 50 ] opened up the prospect of using multiple next generation sequencing (NGS) approaches based on SNPs detection for population and phylogenetic studies of this ant group. For example, Portinha et al [ 51 ] performed whole-genome resequencing of several workers to infer divergence histories among heterospecific populations of F. polyctena and F. aquilonia . As far as our populations are concerned, a double-digest restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing (ddRADseq) approach could be a powerful tool to compare the genetic variation, structure and mating system across populations [ 52 , 53 ] along with genome-wide association studies (GWAS) focused on the identification of the genes that are actively selected by the environmental factors and integrating phenotypic information [ 54 ].…”

“…We collected unmated queens from Bunkkeri ( n = 10) and Långholmen ( n W = 10, n R = 9) in Spring 2018 and workers from Pikkala ( n = 10) in Spring 2015 ( S1 Table ). Data generated by Portinha and colleagues [ 40 ] were used as F . aquilonia and F .…”

“…This is expected since F. selysi diverged 5 Mya from the F. rufa species group, whereas species from the F. rufa species group (from which F. aquilonia and F. polyctena belong to) all diverged within the last 500 kya ( Goropashnaya et al 2012 ). This makes our assembly suitable for resequencing-based studies conducted on any of the 13 species of the F. rufa species group (e.g., Portinha et al 2022 ).…”

“…This work provides a crucial resource to study speciation and contemporary hybridization, as well as the evolution of extreme sociality in the F. rufa species group, that contains 13 keystone species of forest ecosystems ( Seifert 2021 ). The genome and its annotation are both of sufficient quality for studies aiming to reconstruct speciation histories (e.g., Portinha et al 2022 ) and identify barrier loci or regions of adaptive introgression (e.g., Heliconius Genome Consortium 2012 ). It will also enable new approaches on the genomics of hybridization in this fascinating system ( Nouhaud et al 2020 , 2022 ).…”
