Queen loss fails to elicit physiological and transcriptional responses in workers of the invasive garden ant Lasius neglectus

M. Majoe, N. Stolarek, J. Vizueta, Z. Xiong, L. Schrader, J. J. Boomsma, S. Foitzik, R. Libbrecht, V. Nehring

The paper examines whether queen loss triggers physiological and transcriptional changes in workers of Lasius neglectus, finding no such response, suggesting physiological independence.

Proteomics reveals synergy in biomass conversion between fungal enzymes and inorganic Fenton chemistry in leaf-cutting ant colonies

M. Schiott, J. J. Boomsma

The paper identifies fungal enzymes and Fenton chemistry in ant fecal fluid that synergistically degrade plant biomass, surpassing human bioconversion technology.

Competition-based screening secures the evolutionary stability of a defensive microbiome

S. F. Worsley, T. M. Innocent, N. A. Holmes, M. M. Al-Bassam, B. Wilkinson, J. C. Murrell, J. J. Boomsma, D. W. Yu, M. I. Hutchings

The paper shows that competition-based screening by Pseudonocardia symbionts maintains a stable defensive microbiome in Acromyrmex ants by eliminating non-antibiotic-producing microbes.

The evolution of multicellular complexity: the role of relatedness and environmental constraints

R. M. Fisher, J. Z. Shik, J. J. Boomsma

This study tests Bonners 1998 hypothesis that environmental factors influence multicellular evolution by analyzing 139 species across 14 transitions to multicellularity.

The scent of symbiosis: gut bacteria affect social interactions in leafcutting ants

S. Teseo, J. van Zweden, L. Pontieri, P. Kooij, S. J. Sorensen, T. Wenseleers, M. Poulsen, J. J. Boomsma, P. Sapountzis

This study shows that gut bacteria in leaf-cutting ants influence social behavior by altering chemical signals involved in nestmate recognition.
