Journal ArticleDOI
Comparisons of observed phylogenetic topologies with null expectations among three monophyletic lineages.
Craig Guyer,Joseph B. Slowinski +1 more
TL;DR: The pattern of evolution reflected in five‐member phylogenetic trees is different from predictions of the equiprobable and Markov model but is indistinguishable from the proportional‐to‐distinguishable‐arrangements model, suggesting that factors shaping patterns of speciation and extinction are consistent among major taxonomic groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Queens and major workers of Acanthomyrmex ferox redistribute nutrients with trophic eggs
Bruno Gobin,Fuminori Ito +1 more
TL;DR: The large proportion of trophic egg production by the queen and soldiers is quite remarkable, since ant queens are expected to focus entirely on reproduction and majors, which have a defensive function in many species, to be sterile.

The formicidae of Borneo (Insecta: Hymenoptera): A preliminary species list
Martin Pfeiffer,Martin Pfeiffer,Dirk Mezger,Shingo Hosoishi,Bakhtiar Effendi Yahya,Rudolf J. Kohout +5 more
TL;DR: A critical review of ant literature resulted in a catalogue of 97 ant genera with 717 valid species and 52 additional subspecies of ants from 12 subfamilies, including eight genera for which, up to now, only morphospecies have been recorded in Borneo.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This poster presents a probabilistic reconstruction of the response of the immune system to Representative Tournaisian Black-winged Pratincolysis, a type of tick commonly found in South Africa, which is associated with infectious disease.
Journal Article
Diversity and richness of ant species in a lowland wet forest reserve in Sri Lanka
TL;DR: There were no significant differences in species richness between sites within the forest and future studies should analyse species assemblages in each forest type in relation to forest structure and environmental parameters to further understand the distribution of ant species across this unique and complex forest.
