Cross-species cloning in ants 🐜
These two males belong to different species—but share the same mother. How? Why?
To celebrate the print release of our last paper in this week’s @nature.com (issue 8084), here’s a thread summarizing the results. Why? Let’s dive in🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our new paper on the ant genus Carebara is out! It describes two new species from northern Vietnam and proposes a species group, including these two species and C. oni, based on shared morphological characters.
It is open access and can be accessed via the link in the quoted post.

Phylogenomics of Messor harvester ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Stenammini) unravels their biogeographical origin and diversification patterns
Phylogenomic analysis of 2524 ultraconserved-element loci from 58 Messor harvester ant species helps in redefining taxonomic groups of the genus. Messor ants emerged in the Irano-Indian area around ...

Males of all North American velvet-ant species are winged, although males of Myrmilloides grandiceps are brachypterous—the wings are present, but they're tiny and non-functional.
The intimidation factor of the large mandibles is offset by the derpy-looking wings, in my opinion. 😀
