Karyotype Diversity, Mode, and Tempo of the Chromosomal Evolution of Attina (Formicidae: Myrmicinae: Attini): Is There an Upper Limit to Chromosome Number? [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Simple Summary Ants are an important insect group that includes a considerable number of species. Along with this diversity in species, they also exhibit a wide variation in chromosome numbers, from 1 up to 60 chromosomes. DNA molecules can be counted in

Comprehensive analysis of male-free reproduction in Monomorium triviale (Formicidae: Myrmicinae)
bioRxiv, 2021 We report comprehensive evidence for obligatory thelytokous parthenogenesis in an ant Monomorium triviale. This species is characterized by distinct queen–worker dimorphism with strict reproductive division of labor: queens produce both workers and new ...
