Novel Worker‐Like Behavior Observed in Gynes of the Social Parasite Tetramorium microgyna [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Our article reports, to our knowledge, the first observations of inquiline gynes performing worker tasks for their host colony. We dissected these gynes to establish that they were all unmated. We hypothesize that nest excavation by social parasites represents an artifact of a non‐parasitic past.

Distribution Pattern of Ants in Huanglianshan National Nature Reserve From Yunnan, China [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.This study found that ant diversity in the Huanglian Mountain National Nature Reserve exhibits a non‐linear distribution pattern along the altitudinal gradient, encompassing 209 species across 9 subfamilies and 66 genera. Elevation significantly structured ant communities in the reserve.

Adapting to Uncertainty: Foraging Strategies in Dinoponera quadriceps (Formicidae: Ponerinae) [PDF]
InsectsWhen searching for food, animals often make decisions about where to go, how long to stay in a foraging area, and whether to return to the most recently visited spot. These decisions can be enhanced by cognitive traits and adjusted based on previous experience.

Forest Cover and Geographic Distance Shape Ant Assemblages in the Southwestern Brazilian Amazon [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.We investigated how forest cover, precipitation, and spatial distance influence ant species richness and composition in the southwestern Brazilian Amazon. We found that forest cover increases species richness, especially of forest specialists, while spatial distance is the main driver of variation in species composition.
