Abstract

The winter ant, Prenolepis imparis, is one of the most common, widespread, and conspicuous ant species in North America. P. imparis is well adapted to cold climates, and consequently, is often noted as the only active ant species during colder months. This specialized life history makes P. imparis a useful model organism for exploring thermal physiology and understanding the potential impacts of a warming climate on insects. Phylogeographic studies have revealed deeply divergent lineages across North America, as well as a single collection of an apparent social parasite in California. In light of its distinctive cold adaptation and recently discovered geographic diversity, a better understanding of the underlying genetic patterns of the winter ant is valuable to future conservation efforts for this species. Here, we present a high-quality genome assembly of P. imparis from Santa Clara County, California. This genome assembly consists of 787 scaffolds spanning 327.3 Mb, with contig N50 of 901.9 kb, scaffold N50 of 18.7 Mb, and BUSCO completeness of 96.5%. This genome assembly provides an essential foundation for future studies of the winter ant and will be particularly useful for understanding the genetic basis of thermal adaptation, cold resistance, chemical ecology, and the resilience of organisms in response to a changing climate.

期刊介绍: Over the last 100 years, the Journal of Heredity has established and maintained a tradition of scholarly excellence in the publication of genetics research. Virtually every major figure in the field has contributed to the journal. Established in 1903, Journal of Heredity covers organismal genetics across a wide range of disciplines and taxa. Articles include such rapidly advancing fields as conservation genetics of endangered species, population structure and phylogeography, molecular evolution and speciation, molecular genetics of disease resistance in plants and animals, genetic biodiversity and relevant computer programs.
