i5K Comments for Atta colombica
Atta colombica is native in Central America and Colombia and has been

intensively studied in Panama for its mating system, sexual conflicts related to sperm storage, sperm viability, and susceptibility to disease. It is a more weedy species than forest-dwelling A. cephalotes, which has already been genome sequenced. A. colombica has surface waste dumps and A. cephalotes underground compost chambers, so that comparative genome data may shed light on structural and regulatory genes that affect hygienic behavior.
