In tropical coffee agroforests a diverse ant community can occur across multiple vertical strata, yet the extent to which dominant species influence these patterns remains...
In a recent study published in Current Biology, “Socially parasitic ant queens chemically induce queen-matricide in host workers“, Taku Shimada and colleagues reported a new...
Biologists are often only able to observe the end result of the process of speciation by studying clearly separated species, and rarely get the chance...
Recently, research on ants has increasingly focused on molecular approaches. However, there is a need for classic taxonomy, as demonstrated in the following article. A...
Ant colonies can be dense, which may have some hidden costs. Pathogens and parasites find rich pickings in these tightly packed societies, and some have...
In a groundbreaking study, “One mother for two species via obligate cross-species cloning in ants”, Jonathan Romiguier – an evolutionary biologist at the University of...
In this interview, Defu Chen describes his recent study, in Myrmecological News, “Changes in the aggressiveness of invasive red imported fre ants towards native ants:...
Ants play crucial roles in the ecosystems they inhabit and can affect the microbial communities living in the nectar of flowering plants, from their compositions...
In their article, “A hell ant from the Lower Cretaceous of Brazil” the authors report the oldest known Haidomyrmecinae, preserved as a rock impression in...
Understanding species boundaries is one of the central challenges in modern taxonomy, particularly in groups containing morphologically similar species. In their study on Neotropical Strumigenys...
