🐜 Dive into the fascinating world of Polyergus kidnapper ants! 🌿 These ants engage in dramatic raids to kidnap Formica ant species, integrating their captives into their colony. (Screenshot from the SME's attempt at getting AI to make a kidnapper ant image)
This genome assembly of Polyergus mexicanus from California provides an important resource for studying their behavior and genetic diversity, highlighting their crucial role in ecosystem balance. doi.org/10.1093/jher...#JHered#OpenAccess#Genomics#ConservationGenetics
“The Reference Genome Of The Kidnapper Ant, Polyergus Mexicanus”
Abstract. Polyergus kidnapper ants are widely distributed, but relatively uncommon, throughout the Holarctic, spanning an elevational range from sea level
