Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 6, March 2025.ABSTRACT In social animals, reproductive activity and ageing are influenced by group composition. In monogynous (single‐queen) insect societies, queen presence affects worker fecundity and longevity, but less is known about worker responses to queen number variation in polygynous (multi‐queen) species or how queens age in these systems.

Tree species controls over nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in a wet tropical forest
Ecological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 1, February 2025.Abstract Wet tropical forests play an important role in the global carbon (C) cycle, but given current rates of land‐use change, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) limitation could reduce productivity in regenerating forests in this biome. Whereas the strong controls of climate and parent material over forest recovery are well known, the influence of ...

Insect 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.
