Comparative genetic study of the colony structure and colony spatial distribution between the higher termite Amitermes parvulus and the lower, subterranean termite Reticulitermes flavipes in an urban environment

P. A. Eyer, M. N. Moran, S. Richardson, P. T. Shults, K.-L. K. Liu, A. J. Blumenfeld, R. Davis, E. L. Vargo

This study compares the colony structure and spatial distribution of two termite species in an urban environment, revealing differences in breeding systems and foraging ranges.

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.

Genetic diversity, paternal origin and pathogen resistance in Cataglyphis desert ants

P. A. Eyer, P. A. Guery, S. Aron

The paper investigates how genetic diversity and paternal origin affect pathogen resistance in Cataglyphis desert ants, finding that mixed patrilines enhance resistance but genetic diversity alone does not.

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.

One tree, many colonies: colony structure, breeding system and colonization events of host trees in tunneling Melissotarsus ants

P. A. Eyer, E. L. Vargo, C. Peeters

The paper examines the genetic structure and mating system of Melissotarsus ants, showing single-queen colonies with genetic differentiation even on the same tree.
