Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The new ant species M. heureka has a long, pale body (about 0.08 inch (2 millimeters) long), with segmented front legs and long, thin, extended forceps-like mandibles that are thought to be used to entrap and drag its prey, probably soft-bodied animals such as the termite larvae.
Its authors include Christian Rabeling (Section of Integrative Biology, University of Texas, Austin, U.S.A.), Jeremy M. Brown (Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, University of Texas, Austin, U.S.A.), and Manfred Verhaagh (Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Karlsruhe, Germany).
They conclude in the abstract to their paper, “On the basis of morphological and phylogenetic evidence we suggest that these specialized subterranean predators are the sole surviving representatives of a highly divergent lineage that arose near the dawn of ant diversification and have persisted in ecologically stable environments like tropical soils over great spans of time.”
