Alpha and beta phylogenetic diversities jointly reveal ant community assembly mechanisms along a tropical elevational gradient. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 Despite the long-standing interest in the organization of ant communities across elevational gradients, few studies have incorporated the evolutionary information to understand the historical processes that underlay such patterns.

Molecular phylogenetic analysis and morphological reassessments of thief ants identify a new potential case of biological invasions. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 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.

The Biochemical Toxin Arsenal from Ant Venoms. [PDF]
Toxins (Basel), 2016 © 2016 by the authors; licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Ants (Formicidae) represent a taxonomically diverse group of hymenopterans with over 13,000 extant species, the majority of which inject or spray secretions from a venom gland.

Ecological change and conflict reduction led to a social circulatory system in ants. [PDF]
Commun BiolBehavioral innovations can be ecologically transformative for lineages that perform them and for their associated communities. Many ecologically dominant, superorganismal, and speciose ant lineages use mouth-to-mouth social regurgitation behavior ...

Bacterial symbiont sharing in Megalomyrmex social parasites and their fungus-growing ant hosts. [PDF]
Mol Ecol, 2015 Bacterial symbionts are important fitness determinants of insects. Some hosts have independently acquired taxonomically related microbes to meet similar challenges, but whether distantly related hosts that live in tight symbiosis can maintain similar ...

Physical chromosomal mapping of major ribosomal genes in 15 ant species with a review of hypotheses regarding evolution of the number and position of NORs in ants. [PDF]
Comp CytogenetRecently, hypotheses regarding the evolutionary patterns of ribosomal genes in ant chromosomes have been under discussion. One of these hypotheses proposes a relationship between chromosomal location and the number of rDNA sites, suggesting that terminal

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 768-776, June 2017., 2017 Summary Targeted enrichment of conserved genomic regions (e.g. ultraconserved elements or UCEs) has emerged as a promising tool for inferring evolutionary history in many organismal groups. Because the UCE approach is still relatively new, much remains to be learned about how best to identify UCE loci and design baits to enrich them. We test an updated
