Social Organization Is Associated With Relaxed Selection on Worker Genes in Highly Polygyne Ants

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Ants display a diversity of social structures reflected by differences in caste, nest, and colony organization. Previous research has shown that highly eusocial insects (Hymenoptera) exhibit genome‐wide signatures of relaxed selection due to their smaller effective population sizes.

Phylogenomic approach to integrative taxonomy resolves a century‐old taxonomic puzzle and the evolutionary history of the Acromyrmex octospinosus species complex

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 469-494, July 2025.
A comprehensive, integrative study approach combining morphology, population genetics, phylogenetics and biogeography revealed that the Acromyrmex octospinosus species complex consists of two species: A. octospinosus and its social parasite A. insinuator.

Mechanical properties and cuticle organisation in mandibles are related to the task specialisation in leafcutter ants (Atta laevigata, Attini, Formicidae)

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 152-165, June 2025.
Task‐specialization and mandible properties: Leafcutter ants show caste‐based task division, reflected in mandible morphology and mechanical properties. Structural and mechanical analysis: The cuticle was composed of exo‐, meso‐, and endocuticle.
