Convergent evolution of levee building behavior among distantly related ant species in a floodplain ant assemblage

Flooding impacts ground nesting ant colonies by destroying the infrastructure housing and organizing societal function. Here, we report the convergent evolution in distantly related ant species of a behavioral trait that minimizes costs of flooding: the construction of earthen levees around nest ent...
