Exploratory analysis of molecular traits of the mitochondrial DNA of leafcutting ants to infer taxonomic characters towards an integrative taxonomy by Perpetua Ndubuisi Onyinyechi, Natália Martins Travenzoli, Maykon Passos Cristiano, Danon Clemes Cardoso

“…These molecular traits can in turn provide independent information for integrative taxonomy, aiding genus-level circumscriptions. Therefore, we use the leafcutting ant genera Amoimyrmex Cristiano et al., 2020, Atta Fabricius, 1804 and Acromyrmex Mayr, 1865 as models to evaluate a mitochondrial genome fragment regularly applied in phylogenetic and evolutionary studies. …”
