Riding with the ants [PDF]

open access: yesPersoonia - Molecular Phylogeny and Evolution of Fungi, 2017
Isolates of Teratosphaeriaceae have frequently been found in the integument of attine ants, proving to be common and diverse in this microenvironment. The LSU phylogeny of the ant-isolated strains studied revealed that they cluster in two main lineages.

Arboreal ants use the "Velcro® principle" to capture very large prey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Plant-ants live in a mutualistic association with host plants known as "myrmecophytes" that provide them with a nesting place and sometimes with extra-floral nectar (EFN) and/or food bodies (FBs); the ants can also attend sap-sucking Hemiptera for their ...

Habitat Associations of Red Imported Fire Ants (Solenopsis invicta) and Introduced Populations of Pseudacteon spp. Phorid Flies

open access: yesSociobiology, 2014
Habitat selection is one of many aspects of red imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren, (RIFA) that has been intensively studied since their initial introduction in the United States.

Direct and Indirect Effects of Invasive vs. Native Ant-Hemipteran Mutualism: A Meta-Analysis That Supports the Mutualism Intensity Hypothesis

open access: yesAgronomy, 2021
Mutualism can facilitate the colonization, establishment, and spread of invasive species. By modifying interactions with third parties, mutualisms can have cascading community-wide effects.

Phylogenomic Insights into the Evolution of Stinging Wasps and the Origins of Ants and Bees.

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2017
The stinging wasps (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) are an extremely diverse lineage of hymenopteran insects, encompassing over 70,000 described species and a diversity of life history traits, including ectoparasitism, cleptoparasitism, predation, pollen feeding (

Rapid and Effective Electrical Conductivity Improvement of the Ag NW-Based Conductor by Using the Laser-Induced Nano-Welding Process

open access: yesMicromachines, 2017
To date, the silver nanowire-based conductor has been widely used for flexible/stretchable electronics due to its several advantages. The optical nanowire annealing process has also received interest as an alternative annealing process to the Ag nanowire

Spatio‐temporal shifts in British wild bees in response to changing climate

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Climate plays a major role in determining where species occur, and when they are active throughout the year. In the face of a changing climate, many species are shifting their ranges poleward.

Recent Trends and Opportunities for the Targeted Immuno-Nanomaterials for Cancer Theranostics Applications

open access: yesMicromachines, 2022
The targeted delivery of cancer immunotherapies has increased noticeably in recent years. Recent advancements in immunotherapy, particularly in blocking the immune checkpoints (ICs) axis, have shown favorable treatment outcomes for multiple types of ...

Macroecology and macroevolution of the latitudinal diversity gradient in ants

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
The latitudinal diversity gradient—the tendency for more species to occur toward the equator—is the dominant pattern of life on Earth, yet the mechanisms responsible for it remain largely unexplained.

Climate‐driven phenological shifts in emergence dates of British bees

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Climate change has a diverse range of impacts on wild bees, including their phenology or timing of life history events. Climate‐driven phenological shifts can not only impact individuals at species level but also threaten the vital pollination service ...
