Geographic and climatic constraints on bioregionalization of European ants

Runxi Wang et al.

Summary: This study developed a next-generation map of biogeographical regionalization for European ants by integrating expert-validated regional lists, species distribution modelling, and a recent phylogeny, addressing the Wallacean and Darwinian shortfalls for this important insect group. The results indicate strong constraints from geographical barriers and potential effects of climatic history on ant distributions and evolutionary history, while also providing baseline spatial information for future investigations of regional insect distributions.

Phylogeny, evolution, and classification of the ant genus Lasius, the tribe Lasiini and the subfamily Formicinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Brendon E. Boudinot et al.

Summary: This study integrates morphology and molecular data to address the evolution, classification, and identification of the ant genus Lasius, its tribe Lasiini, and their subfamily Formicinae. The research reveals that the crown of the Lasius genus group is considerably younger than that of the Prenolepis genus group and that temporary social parasitism and fungiculture arose twice independently in Lasius.

Plant Biogeography and Vegetation Patterns of the Mediterranean Islands

Frederic Medail

Summary: The Mediterranean Sea has a large number of islands and archipelagos, which play a significant role in the biodiversity of the region. These islands serve as both a museum for ancient plant lineages and a cradle for recent plant diversification. The complex historical biogeography and prehistoric human activities have profoundly shaped the current patterns of plant diversity in the Mediterranean islands.

Is mimicry a diversification-driver in ants? Biogeography, ecology, ethology, genetics and morphology define a second West-Palaearctic Colobopsis species (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Enrico Schifani et al.

Summary: By using a multidisciplinary approach, researchers have discovered a new species, Colobopsis imitans, which is allopatrically distributed from the previously known Colobopsis truncata. The two species show significant, yet not extreme, morphometric differentiation and mtDNA polyphyly, with both employing mimicry of unpalatable or aggressive ant species as an important defensive strategy, driven by biogeographic reasons and acting as a critical evolutionary driver of their diversification.

Integrative taxonomy reveals cryptic diversity in North American Lasius ants, and an overlooked introduced species

Sami Schar et al.

Summary: The study re-evaluates the distribution of the black garden ant in the Holarctic region and finds it to be more closely related to Palearctic species. DNA-barcoding identified established populations of L. niger in Canada. Integrative taxonomy plays a critical role in detecting potential biological invasions.

Integrating morphology with phylogenomics to describe four island endemic species of Temnothorax from Sicily and Malta (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)

Enrico Schifani et al.

Summary: This study describes four species of Temnothorax endemic to Sicily and the neighboring Maltese Islands using qualitative and quantitative morphology as well as phylogenomic analysis. Three of these species are new to science. The findings highlight the importance of Mediterranean paleogeography to ant diversity and distribution in the region.

Enrico Schifani et al.

Summary: The West-Palearctic region is a diversity hotspot for the ant genus Aphaenogaster. This study proposes a new classification for the species-groups in this region based on sequencing and morphological analysis, and reveals the evolutionary consistency among them.

Biogeography of Italy revisited: genetic lineages confirm major phylogeographic patterns and a pre-Pleistocene origin of its biota

Thomas Schmitt et al.

Summary: Warm-adapted species survived past glacial-interglacial cycles in southern European peninsulas and recolonized Central and Northern Europe postglacial. The phylogeographic patterns of multiple species in Italy and surrounding islands show strong divergence between regions, with old vicariance events contributing to biogeographic differentiation. Tectonic activities and climatic cycles likely influenced the current biogeographic patterns of species in the region.
