State of the ant: how broad is our recent knowledge of Neotropical ant behavior? [PDF]

Frontiers in Insect Science
Over the years, most scholarly published papers have studied vertebrates, despite invertebrates’ higher species diversity and number of individuals. This has led to an inaccurate representation of global biodiversity patterns in scientific publications ...

Paving Behavior in Ants and Its Potential Application in Monitoring Two Urban Pest Ants, Solenopsis invicta and Tapinoma melanocephalum

Insects, 2023
Our previous study discovered that two urban pest ants, red imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren (Formicidae: Myrmicinae), and ghost ants, Tapinoma melanocephalum (Fabricius) (Formicidae: Dolichoderinae), can pave viscose surfaces with particles ...

Effects of the pesticides chlorpyriphos, metsulfuron-methyl, and thiamethoxam on ant communities in wheat crop

Bioscience Journal, 2022
Ants are important components of food webs in several ecosystems. In anthropic areas, they can be used as bioindicators of the environmental impacts caused by many factors or in the evaluation of the dynamics of the recovery of an area after a certain ...

Invasive brown marmorated stink bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) facilitates feeding of European wasps and ants (Hymenoptera: Vespidae, Formicidae) on plant exudates

European Journal of Entomology, 2021
The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, is a polyphagous species from eastern Asia, which has spread to America and Europe where it damages many crops. In recently colonized areas, facilitative interactions between H.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the gate-keeper ant Colobopsis nipponica (Wheeler, W.M., 1928) (Formicidae: Hymenoptera)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Colobopsis ants are unique ants known for their phragmotic behavior. We have completed the mitochondrial genome of Colobopsis nipponica (Wheeler, W.M., 1928) as the first mitochondrial genome of the genus. The mitogenome is 17,431 bp long and 19.4% in GC

Interspecific Eavesdropping on Ant Chemical Communication

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Chemical communication is a fundamental, highly complex component of social insect societies. Ants in particular employ a remarkable diversity of chemical signals to maintain social cohesion among nestmates, gain essential resources through coordinated ...

Formicidae [PDF]

, 2012
The economic importance of the Formicidae ants in agriculture is mainly due to their interactions with honeydewproducing Hemipterans, which reduce the abundance of beneficial arthropods in the canopies, thus hindering the biological control of pests. Argentine ant Linepithema humile Mayr, 1868 and native ants of the genera Camponotus, Formica, Lasius ...

Contribution of a DNA barcode to an assessment of the specificity of ant taxa (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) on Corsica

European Journal of Entomology, 2020
We used the COI marker, the most popular DNA barcode for the animal kingdom, to assess the taxonomic status of Corsican populations of eight groups of species of ants that occur both on Corsica and the European mainland. (i) In two groups, we detected no
