Newly Described Ant Species Becomes First Named To Honor Gender Diversity

Researchers have discovered a rare new miniature trap-jaw ant in the tropical forest of Ecuador in South America. The new insect has been named Strumigenys ayersthey after activist and artist Jeremy Ayers who died in 2016. The ant is truly unique among its genus, which has over 850 species, and to celebrate its uniqueness its discoverers decided to honor Ayers and celebrate both biological and human diversity by making it possibly the only species in the world with a scientific name with the suffix they . The newly described species was first identified in 2018 by Philipp Hoenle from the Technical University of Darmstadt in the Reserva Río Canandé, which is owned and taken care of by the NGO Jocotoco. Described in the journal ZooKeys, it is distinguishable for its smooth and shiny cuticle surface and distinctively long trap-jaw mandibles, which makes it stand out even in its overcrowded genus. The fact they haven t been able to find any more specimens suggest it s rare.

New ant species named in recognition of gender diversity

A newly discovered miniature trap-jaw ant from the evergreen tropical forests of Ecuador has been named in recognition of gender diversity. The insect bears the Latin name Strumigenys ayersthey, making it possibly the only species in the world to have a scientific name with the suffix -they, in a nod to gender diversity. There are hundreds of other ants which are named in honour of people, but end with -ae after females and -i after males. American singer-songwriter Michael Stipe, of alternative rock band R.E.M., joined Douglas Booher of Yale University in America in the writing of the etymology section for the article.

Now ANTS go non-binary! Newly discovered species named they

A newly-discovered ant is the first animal species to be given a scientific name ending with they , in a tribute to non-binary people. The miniature trap jaw ant from the evergreen tropical forests of Ecuador has been given the unconventional Latin name Strumigenys ayersthey. The they suffix at the end of the ant s name is in recognition of all non-binary people and a celebration of gender diversity, its discoverers say. Non-binary is a term used to describe people who do not identify as either masculine or feminine. Non-binary people, including the British pop star Sam Smith, therefore like to be referred to as they and them – rather than he and him , or she and her .
