The Amblyoponinae genus Fulakora comprises 25 Neotropical, Nearctic and Australasian species. To date, only one species of Fulakora, F. cleae, has been cytogenetically studied, with 2n=18 chromosomes, no information is available on the immature stages genus. In this study, we describe two additional karyotypes for (F. elongata a new species), both 2n=24 chromosomes (16 metacentrics + 8 submetacentrics), which differ from previously reported karyotype We species, estevae sp. nov., compared it...
Ants, an ecologically successful and numerically dominant group of animals, play key ecological roles as soil engineers, predators, nutrient recyclers, regulators plant growth reproduction in most terrestrial ecosystems. Further, ants are widely used bioindicators the impact land use. We gathered information ant species Atlantic Forest South America. The ATLANTIC ANTS data set, which is part SERIES papers, a compilation records from collections (18,713 records), unpublished (29,651 published...
The trap-jaw ant Acanthognathus Mayr (Myrmicinae: Dacetina) has been subject of various studies since 1969, but there no progress in its cytogenetics. This study describes provides the first karyotype description a representative genus, A. rudis, including chromosomal number, morphology, and distribution repetitive sequences. A colony collected Southeastern Brazil exhibited diploid number 2n = 14 (12 metacentrics + 2 submetacentrics), lowest among Daceton genus-group Neotropical this group...
The fungus-farming ant genus Cyphomyrmex (subtribe Attina, clade Neoattina) comprises 23 described species that are widely distributed throughout the Neotropics. Species within have taxonomic issues such as rimosus (Spinola, 1851) which is likely a complex. Cytogenetics useful tool for evolutionary studies and understanding with dubious taxonomy. In this study, we characterized karyotype of C. from Viçosa, Minas Gerais State, southeastern Brazil using classical molecular cytogenetic...
