Ruling the unruly: Innovation in ant larval feeding led to increased caste dimorphism and social complexity

A. Matte, A. C. LeBoeuf

This study shows that changes in ant larval feeding habits led to increased caste dimorphism and social complexity through evolutionary adaptations in alloparental care and larval morphology.

Ecological change and conflict reduction led to the evolution of a transformative social behavior in ants

M.-P. Meurville, D. Silvestro, A. C. LeBoeuf

This paper investigates the evolution of trophallaxis in ants, showing it emerged in lineages with reduced intra-colonial conflict and contributed to ecological dominance.

Diacamma ants adjust liquid foraging strategies in response to biophysical constraints

H. Fujioka, M. Marchand, A. C. LeBoeuf

The paper shows that Diacamma ants switch between liquid collection methods based on viscosity, not sweetness, to maximize sugar transport efficiency.

Collective regulation of metabolism, development and longevity through a socially exchanged fluid

S. M. Hakala, M.-P. Meurville, M. Stumpe, A. C. LeBoeuf

The paper uses proteomics to analyze trophallactic fluid in carpenter ants, showing how different colony stages prioritize distinct protein functions related to metabolism, development, and longevity.

Molecular evolution of juvenile hormone esterase-like proteins in a socially exchanged fluid

A. C. LeBoeuf, A. B. Cohanim, C. Stoffel, C. S. Brent, P. Waridel, E. Privman, L. Keller, R. Benton

The paper investigates the evolution of JH esterase-like proteins in ants, showing their role in regulating larval development through trophallaxis.
