German Lagunas-Robles studies the genetics and evolution of social behavior in insects, with a focus on 'supergenes' (clusters of genes inherited together) that control social organization and sex ratios in Formica ants. The work combines genomics, evolutionary biology, and animal behavior to understand how these genetic systems arise and persist. Related projects examine sex chromosome systems in mammals and transposable elements (mobile DNA sequences) in genomes.
