Comparative Analysis of Antennal, Foreleg Morphology and Molecular Phylogeny of Carpenter Ants Camponotus sp. (Formicidae: Hymenoptera)

Azhagu R. Raj, H. Sivanesh & Anton Jebastin A. Joseph · Asian Journal of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering · 2026

Background: Carpenter ants of the genus Camponotus exhibit considerable morphological diversity, particularly in antennal and foreleg structures, which are important for sensory perception, locomotion, and species-level comparison. Although morphological and molecular approaches...
