Worker Survival and Egg Production—But Not Transcriptional Activity—Respond to Queen Number in the Highly Polygynous, Invasive Ant Tapinoma magnum In social animals, reproductive activity and ageing are influenced by group composition. In monogynous (single-queen) insect societies, queen presence affects worker fecundity and longevity, but less...

📣 Exciting news! A new paper highlights the work of IRBI researchers on the invasive ant Tapinoma magnum.

Project led by S. Foitzik (Univ Mainz), with contributions from R. Libbrecht, CR CNRS at IRBI. #AntResearch #InsectBiology #IRBI

An unusually large genome from an unusually large stonefly: a chromosome-length genome assembly for the giant salmonfly, Pteronarcys californica (Plecoptera: Pteronarcyidae) Abstract. Pteronarcys californica (Newport 1848) is commonly referred to as the giant salmonfly and is the largest species of stonefly (Insecta: Plecoptera

With a novel chromosomal-length genome assembly, this study paves the way for deeper exploration into the conservation of this iconic insect species.
