Late-life fitness gains and reproductive death in Cardiocondyla obscurior ants
A key hypothesis for the occurrence of senescence is the decrease in selection strength due
to the decrease in the proportion of newborns from parents attaining an advanced age–the …

Queens control caste allocation in the ant Cardiocondyla obscurior
E Schultner, T Wallner, B Dofka… - … of the Royal …, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Social insect queens and workers can engage in conflict over reproductive allocation when
they have different fitness optima. Here, we show that queens have control over queen …

Seeing the whole picture: What molecular ecology is gaining from whole genomes.
WGS, once restricted to model organisms, is now feasible for most taxa, and we anticipate
an explosion of whole genome resources going beyond just one reference genome for each …

Genomic basis of adaptation to climate and parasite prevalence and the importance of odorant perception in the ant Temnothorax longispinosus
A co‐evolutionary arms race ensues when parasites exhibit exploitative behaviour, which
prompts adaptations in their hosts, in turn triggering counter‐adaptations by the parasites …
