Monopolization at the cost of desiccation: Reduced waterproofing cuticular hydrocarbons impairs nestmate discrimination in an ant

P. A. Eyer, A. M. Helms, M. N. Moran, E. L. Vargo

This study shows that reduced cuticular hydrocarbons in Nylanderia fulva ants impair nestmate discrimination but contribute to their ecological success through monopolization.

Consistent signatures of urban adaptation in a native, urban invader ant Tapinoma sessile

A. J. Blumenfeld, P. A. Eyer, A. M. Helms, G. Buczkowski, E. L. Vargo

This study compares the population genetics and breeding structure of the ant Tapinoma sessile in urban and natural environments, finding urban colonies exhibit extreme polygyny and polydomy while natural populations show genetic differentiation.
