The ant genus Aphaenogaster (Formicidae) is ubiquitous in eastern deciduous forests and is important in the seed dispersal of many plants.  Aphaenogaster texana (Wheeler) is one of the most common species in the genus in northwest Arkansas.  Looking at a portion of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene, genetic diversity of the genus is examined from fragmented habitats in the Arkansas Ozarks.
