Iurilli, Maria L. C.; Zhou, Bin; Bennett, James E.; Carrillo-Larco, Rodrigo M.; Sophiea, Marisa K.; Rodriguez-Martinez, Andrea; Bixby, HonorMade available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:30:23Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-03-01; From 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of ...

Evidence for the evolution of eusociality in stem ants and a systematic revisio...
Boudinot, Brendon E; Richter, Adrian; Katzke, Julian; Chaul, Júlio C M; Keller, Roberto A; Economo, Evan P; Beutel, Rolf Georg; Yamamoto, ShûheiIt is generally assumed that Cretaceous stem ants were obligately eusocial, because of the presence of wingless adult females, yet the available evidence is ambiguous. Here, we report the syninclusion of a pupa and adult of a stem ant species from Mid-Cretaceous amber. As brood are immobile, the pupa was likely to have been transported by an adult. Therefore, the fossil substantiates the hypothesis that wingles...
The Skeletomuscular System of the Mesosoma of Formica rufa Workers (Hymenoptera...
Aibekova, Lazzat; Boudinot, Brendon E; Georg Beutel, Rolf; Richter, Adrian; Keller, Roberto A; Hita-Garcia, Francisco; Economo, Evan PThe mesosoma is the power core of the ant, containing critical structural and muscular elements for the movement of the head, legs, and metasoma. It has been hypothesized that adaptation to ground locomotion and the loss of flight led to the substantial rearrangements in the mesosoma in worker ants and that it is likely the ant mesosoma has undergone functional modifications as ants diversified into different e...

The head anatomy of Protanilla lini (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Leptanillinae), w...
Richter, Adrian; Garcia, Francisco Hita; Keller, Roberto A; Billen, Johan; Katzke, Julian; Boudinot, Brendon E.; Economo, Evan P.; Beutel, Rolf G.The hypogaeic ant subfamilies Leptanillinae and Martialinae likely form the sister group to the remainder of the extant Formicidae. In order to increase the knowledge of anatomy and functional morphology of these unusual and phylogenetically crucial ants, we document and describe in detail the cranium of a leptanilline, Protanilla lini Terayama, 2009. The mandibular articulation of the species differs greatly f...
Distal leg structures of the Aculeata (Hymenoptera): A comparative evolutionary...
Beutel, Rolf Georg; Richter, Adrian; Keller, Roberto A.; Hita Garcia, Francisco; Matsumura, Yoko; Economo, Evan P.; Gorb, Stanislav N.The distal parts of the legs of Sceliphron caementarium (Sphecidae) and Formica rufa (Formicidae) are documented and discussed with respect to phylogenetic and functional aspects. The prolegs of Hymenoptera offer an array of evolutionary novelties, mainly linked with two functional syndromes, walking efficiently on different substrates and cleaning the body surface. The protibial-probasitarsomeral cleaning devi...
Comparative analysis of worker head anatomy of Formica and Brachyponera (Hymeno...
Richter, Adrian; Garcia, Francisco H.; Keller, Roberto A.; Billen, Johan; Economo, Evan P.; Beutel, Rolf GeorgAn organism’s morphology plays a crucial role in its interactions with its environment. Therefore, comparative anatomical analysis is a critical basis to understanding the ecology, behavior, and evolution. While our knowledge of ant internal anatomy has considerably improved in recent years, it is still highly fragmentary, and many evolutionary questions remain unsolved. The current work is a contribution of a ...
