Embryogenesis in Myrmicine Ants Combines Features of Short Germ‐Band Development With a Progressive Mode of Segmentation

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 344, Issue 5, Page 284-302, July 2025.
Different insect species exhibit remarkable diversity in the developmental trajectories from fertilized eggs to hatching larvae. For three myrmicine ant species, we observe a novel combination of a developmental features: small embryonic primordia, a mode of embryogenesis termed short/intermediate germ‐band development, and progressive establishment of
