Molecular phylogenetic analysis and morphological reassessments of thief ants identify a new potential case of biological invasions [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 Species delimitation offered by DNA-based approaches can provide important insights into the natural history and diversity of species, but the cogency of such processes is limited without multigene phylogenies.

Embryogenesis in Myrmicine Ants Combines Features of Short Germ-Band Development With a Progressive Mode of Segmentation. [PDF]
J Exp Zool B Mol Dev EvolDifferent 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
