The Importance of Environmental Heterogeneity in Evaluating the Conservation Status of Two Frog Species in a Changing Amazonian Interfluve

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Identifying the most effective criterion to assess the conservation status of vulnerable species in threatened tropical regions is crucial to evaluate recovery plans. We investigated the influence of environmental heterogeneity on the extent of occurrence (EOO), area of occupied habitat (AOH), and density variation of two Amazonian riparian frog ...

Size-related mortality during overwintering in cavity-nesting ant colonies (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2016
The ongoing process of climate change will result in higher temperatures during winter and therefore might increase the survival of overwintering invertebrates.

Stings of some species of Lordomyrma and Mayriella (Formicidae: Myrmicinae) [PDF]

, 2011
The sting apparatus and pygidium are described for eight of 20 Lordomyrma species and one of five Mayriella species. The apparatus of L. epinotaiis is distinctly different from that of other Lordomyrma species.

Supercolonial structure of invasive populations of the tawny crazy ant Nylanderia fulva in the US [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Social insects are among the most serious invasive pests in the world, particularly successful at monopolizing environmental resources to outcompete native species and achieve ecological dominance.

Microhabitat and body size effects on heat tolerance: implications for responses to climate change (army ants: Formicidae, Ecitoninae).

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2015
1. Models that predict organismal and population responses to climate change may be improved by considering ecological factors that affect species thermal tolerance.

Potential of alternative control of leaf‐cutting ants using essential oils: A systematic review

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Abstract Leaf‐cutting ants (LCAs) are abundant and cause considerable damage to agricultural and forest crops in the Neotropical region and are commonly controlled using sulfluramid‐based ant baits. However, this active ingredient is a precursor of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), a persistent, human‐made pollutant that poses serious environmental

Catalogue of the ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Bulgaria [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2010
The present catalogue of the ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) of Bulgaria is made on a base of critical reconsideration of literature (covering the period from 1892 till 2009 and part of 2010) as well as on examination of the authors' and several museum's collections.

Life-history constraints in inaccurate Batesian myrmecomorphic spiders (Araneae: Corinnidae, Gnaphosidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2011
Accurate Batesian mimicry is known to impose constraints on some traits of the mimic, such as foraging or reproductive behaviour. It is not known whether life-history traits of inaccurate Batesian mimics are constrained as well.
