Leaders Are Somethin' Else: Behavioural Variation Associated With Roles During Tandem Running Recruitment

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 10, Page 719-731, October 2026.
In this study, we found moderate to strong repeatabilities in behavioural variables measuring the personality traits: activity, aggressiveness and exploration. Similarly, the probability of acting as a leader during tandem running in an emigration event was moderately (R = 0.469) repeatable.

The origin and evolution of Dolichoderinae, a dominant ant clade (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, October‐December 2026.
The phylogeny of Dolichoderinae is inferred from phylogenomic data for the first time, based on 131 terminals representing all extant genera except Ecphorella, with divergence dating and time‐stratified historical biogeography. Novel phylogenetic relationships facilitate a new informal classification of genus groups, the erection of Paranillidris gen ...

Pumping Venom: Valvilli Architecture in Diacamma (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and Implications for Stinger Functionality

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 9, September 2026.
The insect stinger is among the best‐known venom‐delivery structures, yet its valvilli—paired flaps within the valve chamber—remain poorly understood. Using micro‐CT, histology, serial block‐face SEM and CLSM in the ant Diacamma nr. indicum, we show that the valvilli are not uniformly flexible flaps but are materially differentiated structures with ...

Terminal Filament Bundling Underlies the Development of Ovariole Number Dimorphism Between Queen and Worker Ants

open access: yesEvolution &Development, Volume 28, Issue 3, September 2026.
We trace the formation of the cell structures known to determine ovariole number in the model insect Drosophila melanogaster, called terminal filaments. By investigating the formation of terminal filaments and ovarioles during queen and worker development in ants, we confirm the existence of terminal filament bundling (white arrows) and show that it ...
