Hymenopteran‐specific TRPA channel from the Texas leaf cutter ant (Atta texana) is heat and cold activated and expression correlates with environmental temperature

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 301-320, February 2025.
Texas leaf cutter ant (Atta texana) populations have expanded northward and their obligate symbiotic fungus has increased cold tolerance. The ants have exquisitely temperature sensitive antennae; here, we find the antennae express a subset of six transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, including HsTRPA.

Alternative double strand break repair pathways shape the evolution of high recombination in the honey bee, Apis mellifera

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 185-202, February 2025.
Totally 187 haploid male offspring one honey bee queen genotyped to study recombination and gene conversion, resulting from different repair mechanisms of DNA double‐strand breaks during meiosis. Evidence for these distinct processes leading to changes in the nucleotide composition of the genome.

Novel insights into paternity skew in a polyandrous social wasp

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 31, Issue 6, Page 1876-1888, December 2024.
Our study presents evidence for caste‐biased paternity skew in the polyandrous social wasp, Vespula maculifrons. We also found evidence for remarkable levels of stasis in V. maculifrons queen mate number over several decades of study. Overall, this study reveals important consequences of polyandry in social insects. Abstract Females of many species are

Isoenzyme variation in the leaf-cutting ants Acromyrmex heyeri and Acromyrmex striatus (Hymenoptera, formicidae)

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2002
This is the first study of isoenzyme variability in the leaf-cutting ants (Myrmicinae, Attini) Acromyrmex heyeri (Forel, 1899) and A. striatus (Roger, 1863) which are common throughout the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul.
