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 ...

Phylogeny of Formicidae and position of Ponerinae Bayesian analysis of the combined data set (ALL_DATA) yielded a phylogeny that is broadly congruent with the results of Moreau et al. (2006) and Brady et al. (2006) for subfamily-level relationships within Formicidae (Fig.

Pumping Venom: Valvilli Architecture in Diacamma (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and Implications for Stinger Functionality [PDF]
The insect stinger is among the best‐known venom‐delivery structures, yet its valvilli—paired flaps within the valve chamber—remain poorly understood. Using micro‐CT, histology, serial block‐face SEM and CLSM in the ant Diacamma nr. indicum, we show that the valvilli are not uniformly flexible flaps but are materially differentiated structures with ...

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 ...

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.

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
