Population genomics and demographic sampling of the ant-plant Vachellia drepanolobium and its symbiotic ants from sites across its range in East Africa.

J. Boyle, D. Martins, P. Musili, N. Pierce

The paper examines the population genetics and demographic patterns of Vachellia drepanolobium and its ant symbionts across Kenya, finding spatial distribution differences among ants that are not strongly linked to host genetics or environmental factors.

Dramatic differences in gut bacterial densities help to explain the relationship between diet and habitat in rainforest ants

J. G. Sanders, P. Łukasik, M. Frederickson, J. Russell, R. Koga, R. Knight, N. Pierce

The paper uses fluorescence microscopy and quantitative PCR to estimate microbial abundance in ants, showing gut bacterial density varies widely and correlates with herbivory in canopy-dwelling ants.
