Two correlated genetic features are characteristic of the order Hymenoptera, ie, arrhenotoky
and haplodiploidy, but multiple transitions to diploid thelytoky also occurred within this …

The major rDNA genes are composed of tandem repeats and are part of the nucleolus
organizing regions (NORs). They are highly conserved and therefore useful in …

A substantial portion of the eukaryotic genome includes repetitive DNA, which is important
for its stability, regulation, and architecture. Fungus-farming ant genomes show remarkable …

The ant Acromyrmex ameliae is a social parasite of two leaf-cutting ant subspecies:
Acromyrmex subterraneus subterraneus and A. subterraneus brunneus. Cytogenetic data …

Simple Summary Ants are an important insect group that includes a considerable number of
species. Along with this diversity in species, they also exhibit a wide variation in …

Leaf-cutting ants are among the New World's most conspicuous and studied ant species due
to their notable ecological and economic roles. Cytogenetic studies carried out in Atta show …

Trait evolution has become a central focus in evolutionary biology, with phylogenetic
