摘要: We review the biology of trap-jaw ants whose highly specialized mandibles generate extreme speeds and forces for predation defense. Trap-jaw are characterized by elongated, power-amplified use a combination latches springs to some fastest animal movements ever recorded. Remarkably, trap jaws have evolved at least four times in three subfamilies ants. In this review, we discuss what is currently known about evolution, morphology, kinematics, behavior ants, with special attention similarities key differences among independent lineages. also highlight gaps our knowledge provide suggestions future research on notable group
