The dominance of ants in the terrestrial biosphere has few equals among animals today, but
this was not always the case. The oldest ants appear in the fossil record 100 million years …

Aunque los orígenes de las hormigas (cuándo, dónde y cómo) sean misterios que nunca
podremos resolver, lo cierto es que hace unos 100 millones de años ya existían hormigas …

Efforts to reconstruct the phylogenetic history of ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) have been
boosted in the last few years by accumulation of comprehensive molecular data sets …

Within the Formicidae, the higher classification of nearly all subfamilies has been recently
revised given the findings of molecular phylogenetics. Here, we integrate morphology and …

Uncovering the evolutionary history of the subfamilies Ectatomminae and Heteroponerinae,
or ectaheteromorphs, is key to understanding a major branch of the ant tree of life. Despite …

Ants are one of the most ecologically and numerically dominant families of organisms in
almost every terrestrial habitat throughout the world, though they include only about 1% of …

An increasing number of phylogenetic analyses is no longer translated into classifications.
The resulting phylogeny/classification gap is undesirable because the precise transmission …

For many years, the ant subfamily Ponerinae was hypothesized to contain the basal (early
branching) lineages of ants. Recently the Ponerinae were reclassified into six poneromorph …
