    Abstract: Ants, an ecologically successful and numerically dominant group of animals, play key ecological roles as soil engineers, predators, nutrient recyclers, and regulators of plant growth and reproduction in most terrestrial ecosystems. Further, ants are widely used as bioindicators of the ecological impact of land use. We gathered information of ant species in the Atlantic Forest of South America. The ATLANTIC ANTS data set, which is part of the ATLANTIC SERIES data papers, is a compilation of ant records from collections (18,713 records), unpublished data (29,651 records), and published sources (106,910 records; 1,059 references), including papers, theses, dissertations, and book chapters published from 1886 to 2020. In total, the data set contains 153,818 ant records from 7,636 study locations in the Atlantic Forest, representing 10 subfamilies, 99 genera, 1,114 ant species identified with updated taxonomic certainty, and 2,235 morphospecies codes. Our data set reflects the heterogeneity in ant records, which include ants sampled at the beginning of the taxonomic history of myrmecology (the 19th and 20th centuries) and more recent ant surveys designed to address specific questions in ecology and biology. The data set can be used by researchers to develop strategies to deal with different macroecological and region‐wide questions, focusing on assemblages, species occurrences, and distribution patterns. Furthermore, the data can be used to assess the consequences of changes in land use in the Atlantic Forest on different ecological processes. No copyright restrictions apply to the use of this data set, but we request that authors cite this data paper when using these data in publications or teaching events.

    The beetle tree of life reveals that C oleoptera survived end‐ P ermian mass extinction to diversify during the C retaceous terrestrial revolution

    Abstract: Here we present a phylogeny of beetles ( I nsecta: C oleoptera) based on DNA sequence data from eight nuclear genes, including six single‐copy nuclear protein‐coding genes, for 367 species representing 172 of 183 extant families. Our results refine existing knowledge of relationships among major groups of beetles. Strepsiptera was confirmed as sister to C oleoptera and each of the suborders of C oleoptera was recovered as monophyletic. Interrelationships among the suborders, namely P olyphaga ( A dephaga ( A rchostemata, M yxophaga)), in our study differ from previous studies. Adephaga comprised two clades corresponding to H ydradephaga and G eadephaga. The series and superfamilies of P olyphaga were mostly monophyletic. The traditional C ucujoidea were recovered in three distantly related clades. Lymexyloidea was recovered within T enebrionoidea. Several of the series and superfamilies of P olyphaga received moderate to maximal clade support in most analyses, for example B uprestoidea, C hrysomeloidea, C occinelloidea, C ucujiformia, C urculionoidea, D ascilloidea, E lateroidea, H isteroidea and H ydrophiloidea. However, many of the relationships within P olyphaga lacked compatible resolution under maximum‐likelihood and B ayesian inference, and/or lacked consistently strong nodal support. Overall, we recovered slightly younger estimated divergence times than previous studies for most groups of beetles. The ordinal split between C oleoptera and S trepsiptera was estimated to have occurred in the E arly P ermian. Crown C oleoptera appeared in the Late P ermian, and only one or two lineages survived the end‐ P ermian mass extinction, with stem group representatives of all four suborders appearing by the end of the T riassic. The basal split in P olyphaga was estimated to have occurred in the T riassic, with the stem groups of most series and superfamilies originating during the T riassic or J urassic. Most extant families of beetles were estimated to have C retaceous origins. Overall, C oleoptera experienced an increase in diversification rate compared to the rest of N europteroidea. Furthermore, 10 family‐level clades, all in suborder P olyphaga, were identified as having experienced significant increases in diversification rate. These include most beetle species with phytophagous habits, but also several groups not typically or primarily associated with plants. Most of these groups originated in the C retaceous, which is also when a majority of the most species‐rich beetle families first appeared. An additional 12 clades showed evidence for significant decreases in diversification rate. These clades are species‐poor in the M odern fauna, but collectively exhibit diverse trophic habits. The apparent success of beetles, as measured by species numbers, may result from their associations with widespread and diverse substrates – especially plants, but also including fungi, wood and leaf litter – but what facilitated these associations in the first place or has allowed these associations to flourish likely varies within and between lineages. Our results provide a uniquely well‐resolved temporal and phylogenetic framework for studying patterns of innovation and diversification in C oleoptera, and a foundation for further sampling and resolution of the beetle tree of life.

    Abstract: Ants are some of the most abundant and familiar animals on Earth, and they play vital roles in most terrestrial ecosystems. Although all ants are eusocial, and display a variety of complex and fascinating behaviors, few genomic resources exist for them. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a particularly widespread and well-studied species, the invasive Argentine ant ( Linepithema humile ), which was accomplished using a combination of 454 (Roche) and Illumina sequencing and community-based funding rather than federal grant support. Manual annotation of 〉 1,000 genes from a variety of different gene families and functional classes reveals unique features of the Argentine ant's biology, as well as similarities to Apis mellifera and Nasonia vitripennis . Distinctive features of the Argentine ant genome include remarkable expansions of gustatory (116 genes) and odorant receptors (367 genes), an abundance of cytochrome P450 genes ( 〉 110), lineage-specific expansions of yellow/major royal jelly proteins and desaturases, and complete CpG DNA methylation and RNAi toolkits. The Argentine ant genome contains fewer immune genes than Drosophila and Tribolium , which may reflect the prominent role played by behavioral and chemical suppression of pathogens. Analysis of the ratio of observed to expected CpG nucleotides for genes in the reproductive development and apoptosis pathways suggests higher levels of methylation than in the genome overall. The resources provided by this genome sequence will offer an abundance of tools for researchers seeking to illuminate the fascinating biology of this emerging model organism.

    Molecular phylogeny of the H ydroscaphidae ( C oleoptera: M yxophaga) with description of a remarkable new lineage from the G uiana S hield

    Abstract: The phylogeny of the aquatic beetle family H ydroscaphidae is inferred from one mitochondrial ( COI ) and five nuclear ( 18S , 28S , wingless , arginine kinase and CAD ) genes. Bayesian, maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony analyses were conducted on a combined dataset that included representatives from all three described hydroscaphid genera, three new species of the family of uncertain placement, and representatives from the myxophagan families S phaeriusidae, T orridincolidae and L epiceridae. All analyses strongly supported a set of nearly identical trees in which (i) the monophyly of H ydroscaphidae and all its constituent genera is affirmed, (ii) the nearly cosmopolitan genus Hydroscapha is sister to the remaining and exclusively N eotropical genera, and (iii) the new, morphologically aberrant taxa from the G uiana S hield form a monophylum separate from any described genus. Here, we review each genus of the family including the description of Confossa S hort, J oly, G arcía & M addison gen.n. to accommodate three new species: C. sculptura sp.n. , C. falcata sp.n. and C. minima sp.n. The new genus possesses a remarkable perforated abdominal surface that we hypothesize serves as a respiratory plastron. We also present a key to the genera and a catalogue of species of the family.

    Abstract: We report three new species of the ant genus Leptanilloides from Andean Ecuador. Leptanilloides nomada sp. n. and L. caracola sp. n. are described from the worker caste, the latter from a unique specimen; L. nubecula sp. n. is described from workers, males, and two gyne subcastes previously unknown for the entire subfamily. Phenotypic variation in morphological characters in the new species L. nomada and L. nubecula is more plastic than suggested by the traditional generic diagnosis. These records represent the first case of three Leptanilloides species occurring in sympatry. We discuss aspects of the army ant syndrome and its relevance to the genus Leptanilloides.Tres nuevas especies del género de hormigas Leptanilloides son descritas a partir de especimenes encontrados en Los Andes ecuatorianos. Leptanilloides nomada sp. n. y L. caracola sp. n. son descritas en base a obreras, ésta última es descrita a partir de un sólo espécimen. L. nubecula sp. n. es descrita en base a obreras, machos y dos subcastas de ginas previamente desconocidas para toda la subfamilia. La variación fenotípica encontrada en algunos caracteres morfológicos de las nuevas especies L. nomada y L. nubecula es más plástica de lo que sugiere la diagnosis genérica tradicional. Estos registros constituyen el primer ejemplo de tres especies de Leptanilloides viviendo en simpatría. Discutimos aspectos del síndrome de las hormigas legionarias y su aplicación al género Leptanilloides.

    Taxonomic revision of the Pachycondyla apicalis species complex (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

    Abstract: The taxonomy of the Neotropical Pachycondyla apicalis species complex is revised. Contrary to the widely-held view that the apicalis complex contains only two species, P. apicalis (Latreille 1802) and P. obscuricornis (Emery 1890), morphological evidence indicates the existence of three broadly sympatric species. Examination of type specimens reveals that the name obscuricornis has been extensively misapplied in the literature, and that the valid name for the widespread species commonly misdiagnosed as P. obscuricornis is P. verenae (Forel 1922). True P. obscuricornis is shown to be an uncommonly collected South American species. The name apicalis is valid as currently employed for that species. A taxonomic key is provided, along with diagnoses, illustrations, and distributional data for all three species.

    Abstract: The ant communities of the Paraná River drainage in South America have spawned several major invasive species and a number of cosmopolitan tramp species, including the fire ant Solenopsis invicta Buren and the Argentine ant Linepithema humile (Mayr). Paraguay sits at the center of the Paraná drainage but hosts one of the most poorly-documented ant faunas in the Neotropics, imposing a taxonomic impediment to ant studies in the region. In order to establish a baseline of knowledge about Paraguay’s myrmecofauna, I surveyed nineteen entomological collections and the published literature for records of Paraguayan ants. The resulting catalogue lists 541 ant species, 423 of which could be associated with available names. The Chao-2 estimate of species richness, calculated from the incidence of uniques and doubletons, estimates that the total ant species richness for Paraguay is 698 +/35, suggesting that the catalogue is about 80% complete and more than 100 species remain to be discovered. The Paraguayan ant fauna is characterized by many typical Neotropical elements but shows low endemism, an elevated diversity of attine ants, and only six non-native species. No new taxa are described here, but 40 taxonomic changes are introduced to clean antiquated trinomials from the fauna. The history of Paraguayan myrmecology is discussed, and a reference list is provided for species-level identifications.
