abstract: 'Ants are an abundant and diverse group with worldwide distribution.
Given their omnipresence, ecosystem services, and potential
applications, ants may be excellent models for multiple lines of
research such as physiology. However, the focus and worldwide
distribution of ant physiology research are unknown. Given the evidence
of scientific colonialism in multiple scientific areas -where credit and
reward are not given to local scientists from developing nations when
scien-tist s from wealthier nations travel for research -we examined the
potential for such trends in studies of ant physiology. We investigated
the frequency of studies and collaborations across countries during 2015
-2019, which simultaneously allowed us to estimate the most studied
taxa. We found that the largest proportion of studies was done in Europe
and North America. Collaboration trends were mainly among high-income
countries. Nearly one third of the countries that served as sampling
sites were not represented in authorship (mostly low-and middle-income).
Furthermore, low-and middle-income countries show a lower proportion of
authorship or co-authorship when these countries served as sampling
sites, as compared with high-income countries. This disparity might
indicate scientific colonialism in the field. However, collaborations
between institutions from the sampling country and their foreign
counterparts increased with the per capita Gross Domestic Product,
suggesting a link between country''s participation in international
collaboration and its economic prosperity. How publications are
circulated may further influence trends in scientific colonialism. Both
the probability that a study reaches the public sphere (Altmetric) and
the number of citations increase with the impact factor (IF) of the
journal in which the article was published. Unfortunately, high-IF
journals often show the highest Article Processing Charges, which can be
a financial impediment for institutions in low-and middle-income
countries. Our study highlights factors that influence the process of
research in this field. The evidence of scientific colonialism in ant
physiology that we highlight in this study calls for urgent measures to
promote more equitable collaborative efforts.'
