Distribution Pattern of Ants in Huanglianshan National Nature Reserve From Yunnan, China

open access: yesEcology 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.

Forest Cover and Geographic Distance Shape Ant Assemblages in the Southwestern Brazilian Amazon

open access: yesEcology 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.

Evolutionary history of ponerine ants highlights how the timing of dispersal events shapes modern biodiversity

open access: yesNature Communications
Disentangling the drivers of global biodiversity patterns is a cornerstone of biogeography that remains elusive for many diverse biological groups. Here we present a complete species-level phylogeny of the ant subfamily Ponerinae based on new genomic ...

A zoogeographic model for the evolution of diversity and endemism in Madagascar

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 8, August 2025.
The delineation of zoogeographic regions is essential for understanding the evolution of biodiversity. Madagascar, characterized by high levels of endemism and habitat diversity, presents unique challenges and opportunities for such studies. Traditional global zoogeographic classifications, largely based on vertebrates, may overlook finer‐scale ...

A revision of the genus Mecistostethus Marseul (Histeridae, Histerinae, Exosternini)

open access: yesZooKeys, 2012
We revise the genus Mecistostethus Marseul, sinking the monotypic genus Tarsilister Bruch as a junior synonym. Mecistostethus contains six valid species: M. pilifer Marseul, M. loretoensis (Bruch), comb. n., M. seagorum sp. n., M. carltoni sp.
