28 de mar. de 2018 · To reconstruct a robust phylogeny of the Formica genus, we generated a large transcriptomic dataset including 10 different species from the four Formica subgenera (Formica s. str., Coptoformica, Raptiformica and Serviformica).
Our study provides a robust phylogenetic framework for studying the evolution of the diverse and ecologically important Holarctic ant genus Formica and allows for testing competing hypotheses regarding the origins and evolution of social parasitism in ants.
23 de jul. de 2012 · The present study aims to explore the phylogenetic relationships of the Palaearctic subgenera within genus Formica. One aim is to provide phylogenetic information which can be used in comparative studies such as those by Boomsma and Sundström and by Helanterä and Sundström .
The phylogeny (as inferred e.g. from DNA sequences) provides the necessary background against which the evolution of the other traits can be compared. Most taxonomists have distinguished four subgenera in the European Formica species (e.g. [3,17,18]), namely Raptiformica, Coptoformica, Serviformica, and Formica s. str.
14 de jun. de 2022 · We then investigated the phylogenetic and intracolony distributions of symbionts in diverse Formica and Cardiocondyla species to determine the origins of each symbiosis and its prevalence...
The Holarctic ant genus Formica is ideally suited for studying the evolution of social parasitism because half of its 172 species are confirmed or suspected social parasites, which includes all three major classes of social parasitism known in ants.
20 de ene. de 2020 · By mapping conserved trans -species SNPs associated with social organization and reconstructing the phylogenetic topology across the Formica social supergene, we investigate whether recombination was suppressed at different times across the length of the supergene, forming evolutionary strata.
