Convergent evolution of the army ant syndrome and congruence in big-data phylogenetics

2017-05-04

Abstract excerpt

The evolution of the suite of morphological and behavioral adaptations underlying the ecological success of army ants has been the subject of considerable debate. This “army ant syn-drome” has been argued to have arisen once or multiple times within the ant subfamily Dorylinae. To address this question I generated data from 2,166 loci and a comprehensive taxon sampling for a phylogenetic investigation. Most analys...
