Abstract Knowledge of the internal phylogeny and evolutionary history of ants (Formicidae),
the world's most species-rich clade of eusocial organisms, has dramatically improved since …

Ants are some of the most abundant and familiar animals on Earth, and they play vital roles
in most terrestrial ecosystems. Although all ants are eusocial, and display a variety of …

Clarifying the population structure and introduction history of non-native species is essential
to preventing and mitigating effects of invasion, yet the invasion history of many long …

Pheidole is currently the most species rich genus of ants in the world, with many taxa still
awaiting description. In this study, I reconstruct the phylogeny of Pheidole using molecular …

Knowledge of the biogeographic distribution of ants is central to our understanding of ant
ecology, evolution, taxonomy and conservation. Here, we introduce a novel global …

Army ants are among the top arthropod predators and considered keystone species in
tropical ecosystems. During daily mass raids with many thousand workers, army ants hunt …

Abstract The genus Cryptopone Emery contains 25 species of litter and soil ants, 5 of which

The ant-loving beetle genus Panabachia Park 1942 is a poorly studied beetle lineage from
the new world tropics. We recently collected Panabachia from several previously …

The evolution of eusociality has allowed ants to become one of the most conspicuous and
ecologically dominant groups of organisms in the world. A large majority of the current∼ …

Evolutionary processes in ant-plant mutualisms are mediated by intrinsic features of the
association and by change through time in abiotic components of the system (eg geography …
