The Mesosoma of Protanilla (Leptanillinae) and the Groundplan of the Formicidae (Hymenoptera). [PDF]

J Morphol
Phenomic investigation of the mesosoma of Protanilla lini reveals groundplan features of the ants and raises new homology questions for future investigation, both within Formicidae and across Aculeata. Special highlights include refined definition of the pronotum, complex discoveries of the promesothoracic articulation, and a new perspective on and ...

Magnetosensibility and Magnetic Properties of Ectatomma brunneun Smith, F. 1858 Ants

Sociobiology, 2021
The aim of the present paper is to study magnetosensibility and to seek for magnetic nanoparticles in ants. The social insects, by living in colonies, developed very efficient methods of nestmate recognition, being less tolerant towards individuals from ...

Diet composition of an escaped captive-born southern tamandua (Tamandua tetradactyla) in a nonnative habitat in Asia. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2022
Captive‐born lesser anteater can survive in nonnative habitat by expanding their food acceptance. The escaped lesser anteater fed on both sympatric and nonsympatric ant and termite taxa in Taiwan and survived for 3 months. Abstract Studies on the role of natural predatory instincts in captive‐born mammalian myrmecophagy are rare.

Uncovering species boundaries in the Neotropical ant complex Ectatomma ruidum (Ectatomminae) under the presence of nuclear mitochondrial paralogues [PDF]

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2016
Nuclear mitochondrial (mt) paralogues (numts) are non-functional fragments of mtDNA integrated into the nuclear genome that can overestimate the number of species in analyses based on mtDNA sequences. As numts have relatively slow mutation rates, they can pass undetected by conventional procedures such as inspecting for internal stop codons, indels or ...

Evolution of thorax architecture in ant castes highlights trade-off between flight and ground behaviors [PDF]

, 2014
The concerted evolution of morphological and behavioral specializations has compelling examples in ant castes. Unique to ants is a marked divergence between winged queens and wingless workers, but morphological specializations for behaviors on the ground

Allergy to stings and bites from rare or locally important arthropods: Worldwide distribution, available diagnostics and treatment

Allergy, Volume 78, Issue 8, Page 2089-2108, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Insect venom allergy is the most frequent cause of anaphylaxis in Europe and possibly worldwide. The majority of systemic allergic reactions after insect stings are caused by Hymenoptera, and among these, vespid genera induce most of the systemic sting reactions (SSR). Honey bees are the second leading cause of SSR.

Estudos citogenéticos em formigas neotropicais do gênero Gnamptogenys Roger (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Ectatomminae) [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Entomologia, 2004
Studies on the karyotypes of three Neotropical species of the genus Gnamptogenys (Ectatomminae, Ectatommini) have been carried out: Gnamptogenys striatula Mayr, Gnamptogenys sp. and Gnamptogenys annulata Mayr, collected at Vicosa (Minas Gerais, Brazil) and Ilheus (Bahia, Brazil). The chromosome number of G.

Using computer vision to understand the global biogeography of ant color

Ecography, Volume 2023, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023
Organisms use color to serve a variety of biological functions, including camouflage, mate attraction and thermoregulation. The potential adaptive role of color is often investigated by examining patterns of variation across geographic, habitat and life‐history gradients.
