| Etymology |
From an evolutionary perspective, colony demography and behavior this species can be considered as a precursor of the situation in Lasius neglectus (Seifert 2010). Lasius precursor sp. nov. probably represents a rather recent split-off from Lasius turcicus and may probably serve as a genetic model for transition from monogyny in Lasius turcicus to true supercoloniality. |
