Molecular phylogenetic reconstruction and localization of the (TTAGG)n telomeric repeats in the chromosomes of Acromyrmex striatus (Roger, 1863) suggests a lower ancestral karyotype for leafcutter ants (Hymenoptera)


	Metaphase and karyotype of A. striatus and metaphase spreads after FISH with the telomeric probe (TTAGG)6. a Metaphase and karyotype stained with Giemsa b–h Best metaphase spreads stained with DAPI (uniform blue) and the telomeric probes with Cy3-dUTP in red.
