The Smithsonian team analyzed genetic data from hundreds of species of fungi and ants to craft detailed evolutionary trees. Comparing the trees allowed the researchers to create an evolutionary ...

This reproductive system highlights the complexity of ant reproduction and the evolutionary pressures that shape these strategies[2]. Research on the Pogonomyrmex harvester ants has revealed a ...

These are “ant-plant” trees, which famously cooperate with fierce Azteca ants; the trees provide shelter and food to the ants, and in exchange the ants defend their leaves against herbivores.
