Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 2, January 2026.ABSTRACT Parthenogenesis, or all‐female clonal reproduction, is rare among vertebrates. This is often attributed to the selective disadvantages of assumed reduction of genetic diversity in the absence of sex. However, parthenogenetic vertebrates have highly complex evolutionary histories, with most arising through hybridisation and many being polyploid.

Death by a Thousand Ants: Predation on Grasshoppers by Invasive Ants in a Grassland
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Invasive ants are known to disrupt litter‐dwelling arthropod communities, but their impacts on large, mobile aboveground insects are less clear. We document predation by the invasive tawny crazy ant (Nylanderia fulva) on adult grasshoppers in a coastal tallgrass prairie, where nearly half of tethered individuals were killed within 24 h, and stable ...
