Abstrakt:	The winter ant, Prenolepis imparis, is one of the most common, widespread, and conspicuous ant species in North America. P. imparis is well adapted to cold climates, and consequently, is often noted as the only active ant species during colder months. This specialized life history makes P. imparis a useful model organism for exploring thermal physiology and understanding the potential impacts of a warming climate on insects. Phylogeographic studies have revealed deeply divergent lineages across North America, as well as a single collection of an apparent social parasite in California. In light of its distinctive cold adaptation and recently discovered geographic diversity, a better understanding of the underlying genetic patterns of the winter ant is valuable to future conservation efforts for this species. Here, we present a high-quality genome assembly of P. imparis from Santa Clara County, California. This genome assembly consists of 787 scaffolds spanning 327.3 Mb, with contig N50 of 901.9 kb, scaffold N50 of 18.7 Mb, and BUSCO completeness of 96.5%. This genome assembly provides an essential foundation for future studies of the winter ant and will be particularly useful for understanding the genetic basis of thermal adaptation, cold resistance, chemical ecology, and the resilience of organisms in response to a changing climate.
