Running rampant: the alien ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) of Cyprus [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2023 Biological invasions are considered a major driver of biodiversity loss, particularly on islands. Invasive alien ants can often have severe consequences on native biodiversity.

The pace and shape of ant ageing. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Ants have been proposed as good models to study ageing and the effects of extrinsic mortality because of their long lifespans and plasticity of ageing within species. We discuss how age‐dependent extrinsic mortality might influence queen lifespan, and how the effect of age‐independent extrinsic mortality needs further study, accounting for ...

Forecasting alien species establishment and source regions: Quantitative assessment of potential ant invasions in Japan. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Due to the costs and difficulties of mitigating past biological invasions, there is a critical need for improved predictions of establishment risk for alien species and their source regions to guide the deployment of preventive measures. Here, focusing on a global pool of ant species known to be spread by humans, we develop a computational ...

DNA Barcode Reference Library for European Ants: A Roadmap for Phylogeography and Species Discovery. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT DNA barcode reference libraries provide useful tools for specimen identification, highlighting potential new species and detecting introduced ones. Here, we present a comprehensive DNA barcode library for European ants and, in order to tackle the Linnean, Wallacean and Darwinian shortfalls of this group, we provide an updated checklist ...

Spiroplasma Display an Intricate Continuum of Infection Heterogeneity and Persistence in Myrmica Ants. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Many bacterial taxa evolved facultative symbiotic associations with insects and spread through host populations by horizontal and maternal transmission. Co‐infection at the individual host level may facilitate or constrain the spread of facultative symbionts.
