Ants as ecological indicators of rainforest restoration: Community convergence and the development of an Ant Forest Indicator Index in the Australian wet tropics

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 20, Page 8442-8455, October 2017., 2017
We show that ant communities at rainforest sites undergoing restoration show strong convergence with those of mature rainforest. We confirm the utility of using ants as indicators of restoration success, and provide a novel index based on the occurrence of targeted indicator species for assessing the efficacy of forest restoration.

A Review of the Biology of Eucharitidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) from Argentina

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
All the members of Eucharitidae are parasitoid of ants. Argentina has 14 genera and 41 species, but little is known about their biology. Herein are provided new data for host associations (host ant and/or host plant) of Galearia latreillei, Kapala spp., Latina rugosa, Orasema aenea, and Orasema sp.

Bacterial Infections across the Ants: Frequency and Prevalence of Wolbachia, Spiroplasma, and Asaia

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Bacterial endosymbionts are common across insects, but we often lack a deeper knowledge of their prevalence across most organisms. Next‐generation sequencing approaches can characterize bacterial diversity associated with a host and at the same time facilitate the fast and simultaneous screening of infectious bacteria.

Community Structure of Leaf‐Litter Ants in a Neotropical Dry Forest: A Biogeographic Approach to Explain Betadiversity

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
This paper describes habitat and geographic correlates of ant diversity in Serra da Bodoquena, a poorly surveyed region of central‐western Brazil. We discuss leaf‐litter ant diversity on a regional scale, with emphasis on the contribution of each of the processes that form the evolutionary basis of contemporary beta diversity.

Ant Community Structure (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Two Neighborhoods with Different Urban Profiles in the City of São Paulo, Brazil

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Some ant species are highly abundant in cities, may form huge unicolonial populations with thousands of individuals able to displace native fauna, and impoverish ecological relationships in urban environments. In this work, we study the ant community in two neighborhoods with different urban profiles, one recently populated and another from the 1900s ...

Et latet et lucet: Discoveries from the Phyletisches Museum amber and copal collection in Jena, Germany [PDF]

open access: yesDeutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift
As the only direct records of the history of evolution, it is critical to determine the geological source of biota-bearing fossils. Through the application of synchrotron-radiation micro-computed tomography (SR-µ-CT), Fourier-transformed infrared ...

Mean abundances (± standard error) of ant genera collected from pitfall traps at low and high elevations sites in the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area.

open access: yes, 2016
Superscript numbers 1, 2, 3 indicate the top three genera that differ between low and high elevation communities. The genera that contain seed-removalists (MYR) are indicated (Y = yes).

Ophiocordyceps unilateralis -sienen patogeeninen vaikutus Camponotini-heimon muurahaisissa

open access: yes, 2023
Tiivistelmä. Ophiocordyceps unilateralis on sieni, joka infektoi Camponotini-heimon hevosmuurahaisia ja manipuloi niiden käyttäytymistä. Näitä sienipatogeenejä kutsutaan usein zombisieniksi, sillä ne ohjailevat muurahaisen ruumista infektion aikana. Muurahaiset toimivat O. unilateralikselle tärkeinä vektoreina, jotka mahdollistavat sienen lisääntymisen.
