Darwin's "neuters" and the evolution of the sex continuum in a superorganism

J. Oettler, T. Wallner, B. Dofka, J. Heinze, N. Eichner, G. Meister, M. Errbii, M. Rehli, C. Gebhard, E. Schultner

The paper identifies three phenotypic entities in ant embryos, including 'neuters', and proposes that haplodiploidy enables a third dimension on the sex continuum in Cardiocondyla obscurior.

Sex- and caste-specific developmental responses to juvenile hormone in an ant with maternal caste determination

J. Bruelhart, A. Suess, J. Oettler, J. Heinze, E. Schultner

This study investigates the effects of juvenile hormone treatment on caste development in Cardiocondyla obscurior ants, finding no impact on female caste ratios or body sizes but increased male size.

The indispensable soma of Cardiocondyla obscurior ants

L. M. J. Nino, A. Suess, J. Heinze, E. Schultner, J. Oettler

This study shows that workers and queens of Cardiocondyla obscurior ants age at the same rate and shape, challenging the idea that worker lifespan is shorter due to their sterile status.

Maternal control over caste allocation in the ant Cardiocondyla obscurior

E. Schultner, T. Wallner, B. Dofka, J. Bruelhart, J. Heinze, D. Freitak, T. Pokorny, J. Oettler

The paper shows that queens control caste allocation in Cardiocondyla obscurior, with caste fate determined irreversibly in the egg stage and no caste-specific traits in late development.

Late-life fitness gains explain the absence of a selection shadow in ants

L. M. Jaimes Nino, J. Heinze, J. Oettler

The paper shows that ants avoid senescence by increasing late-life reproduction, which maintains selection strength and counteracts the selection shadow.

Gene co-expression network reveals highly conserved, well-regulated anti-ageing mechanisms in old ant queens.

M. C. Harrison, L. M. Jaimes Nino, M. Almeida Rodrigues, J. Ryll, T. Flatt, J. Oettler, E. Bornberg-Bauer

The paper analyzes gene co-expression networks in old ant queens to identify anti-ageing mechanisms and finds increased transcriptional regulation and strong purifying selection on key genes.

Cytoplasmic incompatibility between Old and New World populations of a tramp ant

C. Ün, E. Schultner, A. Manzano-Marin, L. V. Florez, B. Seifert, J. Heinze, J. Oettler

The paper identifies cytoplasmic incompatibility between Old and New World populations of Cardiocondyla obscurior ants, revealing a symbiont-induced reproductive isolation mechanism.
