Ant–plant relationships in an Amazonian rainforest understory: A network approach

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Tropical rainforest ants are abundant at the ground and canopy levels, but the understory is frequently neglected. Thus, we looked for ants nesting in this stratum in an Amazonian rainforest. Ants nest in the debris accumulated between the fronds of the palm tree Astrocaryum sciophilum or are associated with myrmecophytes (plants that shelter ant ...

Host‐Cleptoparasite Biogeographical Congruence Through Time: The Case of Cuckoo Oil Bees

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Insect brood parasites (i.e., cleptoparasites), like cuckoo bees, typically attack hosts within specific lineages, but seem to be less constrained by the biogeographical movements of their hosts compared to obligate parasites. Cuckoo bees depend on stable host populations, being particularly sensitive to environmental changes and thus ...

Recent Long‐Distance‐Dispersal Explains the Range Disjunction of the Old‐Word Cockleburs (Xanthium strumarium)

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim In the present study, we focused in addressing questions concerning the biogeographic history of Xanthium strumarium, an Old World native species whose close relatives are generally all native to the American continent. Location The species distribution covers the Eurasian continent and some African regions and close islands.

Around the World in 26 Million Years: Diversification and Biogeography of Pantropical Grass‐Yellow Eurema Butterflies (Pieridae: Coliadinae)

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Grass‐yellow butterflies (Eurema) are a group of pantropical Pieridae distributed throughout Asia, Australasia, Africa and the New World. However, little is known about their diversification, including the biogeographic mechanism(s) explaining their circumglobal distribution.
