Establishment of ant communities in forests growing on former agricultural fields: Colonisation and 25 years of management are not enough (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2008
Ants are often considered as good indicators of change of management in different habitats. They have been used sporadically to evaluate large scale transformations involving reafforestation.

Trapping is not effective for limiting damage by Vespa velutina in vineyards. [PDF]

open access: yesPest Manag Sci
Vespa velutina is an invasive hornet that damages grapes. Baited traps are commonly used to mitigate them, but trap effectiveness in vineyards has not been tested. Our study found no significant reduction in damage from trapping, and high and variable by‐catch rates. Sustainable vineyard management methods should be explored.

Controlling invasive ant species: a theoretical strategy for efficient monitoring in the early stage of invasion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Invasion by the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, has destructive effects on native biodiversity, agriculture, and public health. This ant's aggressive foraging behaviour and high reproductive capability have enabled its establishment of ...

Drivers of ant composition, richness, and trophic guilds in Neotropical iron ore cavities

open access: yesInternational Journal of Speleology, 2019
Subterranean habitats may be considered limiting for animal colonization, especially for ants, due to permanent darkness and mainly because of oligotrophic conditions.

A novel association between Aphaenogaster subterranea (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and the nymphs of Reptalus panzeri (Hemiptera: Cixiidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2012
The nymphs of the cixiid planthopper, Reptalus panzeri (Löw, 1883), were found cohabiting with the myrmicine ant Aphaenogaster subterranea (Latreille, 1798) in a sub-Mediterranean oak forest in mid-western Hungary.

Learning through the waste: olfactory cues from the colony refuse influence plant preferences in foraging leaf-cutting ants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Leaf-cutting ants learn to avoid plants initially harvested if they proved to be harmful for their symbiotic fungus once incorporated into the nest.

Determining the season of death from the family composition of insects infesting carrion

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2011
Determining the season of death by means of the composition of the families of insects infesting carrion is rarely attempted in forensic studies and has never been statistically modelled.

Isolation and characterization of novel microsatellite markers for a globally distributed invasive ant Paratrechina longicornis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2019
The longhorn crazy ant, Paratrechina longicornis (Latreille), is a ubiquitous agricultural and urban pest that has invaded most tropical and subtropical regions. Although P.

Colony size predicts division of labour in Attine ants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Division of labour is central to the ecological success of eusocial insects, yet the evolutionary factors driving increases in complexity in division of labour are little known.
