Genetic analysis reveals Finnish Formica fennica populations do not form a separate genetic entity from F. exsecta
Coptoformica Müller, 1923 is a subgenus of Formica Linnaeus, 1758 that consists of c. a dozen species of ants that typically inhabit open grassy habitats and build small nest mounds. The most recent addition to the group is Formica fennica Seifert, 2000. The description was based on morphological ch...
