The Phylogeny and Evolution of Ants (2014, unknown): “We are far from having a complete inventory at the species level: Numerous ant species remain undiscovered and/or undescribed, especially from tropical regions, and many of the larger ant genera are in a state of taxonomic disarray (Ward 2007).”
Role of Arthropods in Maintaining Soil Fertility (2013, unknown): “More than 12,000 species in 288 genera and 20 subfamilies have been described [91].”
Cryptic species in ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) revisited: we need a change in the alpha taxonomic approach (2009, unknown): “W ARD (2007) wrote in this context: "A further disincentive is the great scarcity of jobs for those engaged primarily in descriptive taxonomy.”
Convergent evolution of wingless reproductives across all subfamilies of ants, and sporadic loss of winged queens (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) (2012, unknown): “Wing muscles in ant queens are an adaptation for independent colony founding Many "formicoid" species (90% of all ants; WARD 2007) have evolved winged queens with disproportionally huge wing muscles compared to any normal flying wasps (Fig.”
Fossil ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): ancient diversity and the rise of modern lineages (2017, unknown): “While some authors (e.g., MAGALLÓN 2004, WARD 2007) have used the term stem group to describe the crown group a n d stem lineages, this usage is not adopted here.”
