The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Ecological and social factors lead to variation in parental care between sexes in a burying beetle
Insect Science, EarlyView.We experimentally investigated the effects of ecological (resource availability and interspecific competition) and social factors (intraspecific competition) on parental care and reproductive success in the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides. Our results showed that males and females adjust their parental care based on resource availability and ...

Insect Science, EarlyView.Aphids pose a serious risk to horticultural crops. Current biocontrol strategies often fail due to the poor establishment of natural enemies when aphids are scarce. We evaluated the potential of two aphidophagous predators, Micromus variegatus and Scymnus interruptus, to be used as preventive biocontrol agents, released before aphid infestation.
