Fascinating. Possibly a real-life X-Men type mutation in a single generation.

"The work showed that a single mutation in a supergene was sufficient to produce the full suite of changes observed in the obligate parasites, even before the ants were split by speciation."

Possible solution to the mystery of the rapid, parallel, and #sympatric #evolution of #ant #workerless social #parasites (#inquilines): a single #mutation in a #supergene.
