Morphological cultural characteristics, as well multilocus phylogenetic analyses internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region rDNA, RNA polymerase II second largest subunit RPB2 ), translation elon...

Abstract The fossil record allows a unique glimpse into the evolutionary history of organisms living on Earth today. We discovered specimen stem group ant †Gerontoformica gracilis (Barden and Grimaldi, 2014) in Kachin amber with near-complete preservation internal head structures, which we document employing µ-computed-tomography-based 3D reconstructions. compare to four outgroup taxa extant sp...
