The document discusses estimating effective population size in social insects versus solitary insects. It aims to run the Pairwise Sequentially Markovian Coalescent (PSMC) method across a wide range of social and solitary insect species to analyze and compare their effective population sizes. It also mentions modular bioinformatics tools for building analysis workflows and data pipelines.
