Abstract Although latitudinal gradient of diversity (LGD) is a biogeographic pattern widely shown for distinct animal groups, some display the opposite pattern, with biodiversity peaking away from the equator. These inverse gradients may result from drivers that also overlap with extrinsic factors shaping genetic diversity across taxa, a level of ...

The ant tribe Platythyreini comprises a single genus, Platythyrea Roger, 1863, with 40 described species. Platythyrea exigua Kempf, 1964 is a Neotropical species and, in Brazil, had previously been recorded only in Mato Grosso and Rondônia (Amazon biome)

Monophyly of Ponerinae and its tribes and genera The monophyly of Ponerinae was strongly supported by analyses of the ALL_DATA matrix (BPP = 1.00, BS = 0.98; Fig. 3), confirming the results of previous molecular phylogenetic studies with more limited sampling of ponerine taxa (e.g., Moreau et al., 2006; Brady et al., 2006) and confirming predictions ...

Effect of Time‐Since‐Fire on Ant Communities in a Semi‐Arid Landscape
We sampled ants from five sites with varying fire histories (3, 5, 9, 26, and 34 years since the last fire). A total of 16,360 ants were collected, and 59 species across 20 genera were identified. Our results indicate that total ant abundance was higher in recently burnt sites and decreased with increasing time‐since‐fire, while ant species richness ...

We present draft genome assemblies for two poneroid ant species with distinctive life history traits: Platythyrea mocquerysi Emery, 1899 (Ponerinae) and Stigmatomma oregonense Wheeler, 1915 (Amblyoponinae).

Bacterial Communities in the Midgut of Ponerine Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Ponerinae) [PDF]
Symbiotic microorganisms are directly related to the ecological success of host insects, influencing many aspects of their biology. The present study is the first to investigate the microbiota associated with ants of the subfamily Ponerinae and aims to identify the bacterial midgut communities of Dinoponera lucida, Pachycondyla curvinodis, Pachycondyla

We validated ant‐specific COI metabarcoding primers using in silico, in vitro and in situ analyses, identifying assays that improve ant detection from mock communities, spike‐in tests and soil eDNA. The recommended assays reduce reliance on taxonomic expertise and enable scalable, high‐throughput ant biomonitoring for land‐management applications ...

The annual life history is a basic and important factor in ecological studies on temperate ant species. The biology of Ponerinae species has been studied for many species, but little attention has been paid to their life history.

Classical and Molecular cytogenetics of Ponerinae ants reveal evolutionary and taxonomic insights.
Eleven species of Ponerinae ants belonging to six distinct genera, from the Amazon and Atlantic rainforest, were characterized through karyotype, distribution of 45S ribosomal genes, microsatellites (GA)n and telomeric repeats (TTAGG)n. This is the first
