Evolution of the North American seed‐harvester ant genus Veromessor (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Phylogenomics resolves evolutionary relationships among Veromessor seed‐harvesting ants across arid western North America. Ecological and morphological traits evolved rapidly and repeatedly in response to habitat. Genomic and morphological species delimitations are broadly congruent despite polymorphisms in colour and colony founding.

Potential of alternative control of leaf‐cutting ants using essential oils: A systematic review
Abstract Leaf‐cutting ants (LCAs) are abundant and cause considerable damage to agricultural and forest crops in the Neotropical region and are commonly controlled using sulfluramid‐based ant baits. However, this active ingredient is a precursor of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), a persistent, human‐made pollutant that poses serious environmental

The Crematogaster (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Myrmicinae) of Costa Rica [PDF]
The taxonomy and natural history of the ant genus Crematogaster are reviewed for the Costa Rican fauna. Thirtyone species are known, and a key is provided for these and two additional species from adjacent regions of Panama. Species boundaries are evaluated over their entire range when possible.

Phylogenomic analysis of 2524 ultraconserved‐element loci from 58 Messor harvester ant species helps in redefining taxonomic groups of the genus. Messor ants emerged in the Irano‐Indian area around 20 million years ago, rapidly dispersing to the Western Palaearctic and Northeastern Africa during the early Miocene.
