One nutritional symbiosis begat another: Phylogenetic evidence that the ant tribe Camponotini acquired
Background Bacterial endosymbiosis has a recurring significance in the evolution of insects. An estimated 10-20% of insect species depend on bacterial associates for their nutrition and reproductive viability.

Many tropical insect species remain formally undescribed, and the validity of some rarely collected and poorly studied taxa is uncertain. Overbeckia Viehmeyer, 1916 is a monotypic ant genus and a rare member of the arboreal ant communities of tropical South East Asia and Australasia.

Grappling with homoplasy: taxonomic refinements and reassignments in the ant genera Camponotus and Colobopsis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) [PDF]
Camponotus and Colobopsis are widely distributed and species-rich genera in the ant tribe Camponotini. Molecular phylogenetic studies demonstrate that they are not sister taxa, but several lineages within each genus have converged to a remarkable degree,

Ophiocordyceps unilateralis -sienen patogeeninen vaikutus Camponotini-heimon muurahaisissa [PDF]
Tiivistelmä. Ophiocordyceps unilateralis on sieni, joka infektoi Camponotini-heimon hevosmuurahaisia ja manipuloi niiden käyttäytymistä. Näitä sienipatogeenejä kutsutaan usein zombisieniksi, sillä ne ohjailevat muurahaisen ruumista infektion aikana. Muurahaiset toimivat O. unilateralikselle tärkeinä vektoreina, jotka mahdollistavat sienen lisääntymisen.

Composition and functional groups of epiedaphic ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in irrigated agroecosystem and in nonagricultural areas Composição e grupos funcionais de formigas epiedáficas (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) em agroecossistema irrigado e em áreas não agrícolas [PDF]
The objective of this work was to evaluate the species composition and functional groups of ants in nonagricultural (NA) and in irrigated areas (S, seasonal irrigation; P, irrigation with well water; W, irrigation with wastewater) in an arid agricultural
