Ants have evolved very complex societies and are key ecosystem members. Some ants, such as the fire ant Solenopsis invicta , also major pests. Here, we present a draft genome of S. assembled from Roche 454 Illumina sequencing reads obtained focal haploid male his brothers. We used comparative genomic methods to obtain insight into unique features genome. For example, found that this harbors four adjacent copies vitellogenin. A phylogenetic analysis revealed an ancestral vitellogenin gene...
Abstract Interactions between species and environmental factors play a key role in shaping ecological evolutionary dynamics. Understanding these interactions provides insight into how they drive adaptation influence the structure of bacterial communities. Fungus‐growing termites essentially have symbiotic relationship with Termitomyces fungi. Termites grow fungus gardens their nests structures called combs, where mycelia nodules serve as food source for geminated from digestion plant...
Abstract A remarkable social polymorphism is controlled by a single Mendelian factor in the fire ant Solenopsis invicta . genomic element marked gene Gp‐9 determines whether workers tolerate one or many fertile queens their colony. was recently shown to be part of supergene with two nonrecombining variants, SB and Sb. / /Sb differ how they initiate new colonies, physiological traits, for example odour maturation rate. To understand genetic can affect all these we used microarray compare...
Males in many animal species differ greatly from females morphology, physiology and behaviour. Ants, bees wasps have a haplodiploid mechanism of sex determination whereby unfertilized eggs become males while fertilized females. However, also low frequency diploid males, which are thought to develop when individuals homozygous at one or more loci. Diploid morphologically similar haploids, though often larger typically sterile. To determine how ploidy level sex-locus genotype affect gene...
The insect transformer2 (tra2) gene has a prevalent role in cooperating with the sex-determining transformer (tra) to direct female differentiation. Here, we report identification and characterization of Btau-tra2, tra2 orthologue pumpkin fruit fly, Bactrocera tau, an invasive agricultural pest. Btau-tra2 produces three transcript variants. However, only two transcripts can be examined; one is present at all developmental stages soma germline both sexes other specific embryo germline....
Abstract. Jannual N, Nipitwattanaphon M, Hasin S, Kaewgrajang T. 2020. Morphological and molecular characterization of Termitomyces (Lyophyllaceae, Agaricales) in Thailand. Biodiversitas 21: 2481-2491. is considered to be a highly prized delicacy collected both for home consumption sale local markets. Although the taxonomic information about this genus well known Africa, identification species Thailand unclear. Therefore, study presented an assessment phylogenetic relationships by means...
Fire ants have long been known to be a major pest and recently attracted renewed widespread attention due the invasion of Solenopsis species, especially S. invicta, into many countries in Asia Australia. Here, we surveyed fire ant specimens Thailand with aims studying their colony biology population structure. We sampled 38 colonies distributed agricultural urban areas throughout for species identification found that all were geminata. further genotyped 13 microsatellite loci from 576...
