European Journal of Entomology, 2018 According to previous observations, it was hypothesized that the feeding behavior of some ant species would be deterred by a scavenger deterrent factor (SDF), whereas for other species it would not.

Balancing risk and opportunity: Nasute termite responses to predator and competitor chemical cues
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Nasutitermes corniger discriminates between heterospecific chemical cues during foraging, showing non‐random resource selection based on predator and competitor information. Predator chemical cues consistently reduce food resource selection, indicating avoidance driven by perceived predation risk rather than direct encounters.

Arthropod conservation in roadside verges: Unmown refuges outperform mowing equipment changes
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.While roadside verges might have potential as connecting corridors for grassland habitats and their inhabitants, roadside mowing negatively impacts grassland arthropod densities. In contrast to unmown refuges, all mowing techniques harmed grassland arthropods, with no significant differences between mowing equipment.

Indirect effects of ant predation (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) on bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus
European Journal of Entomology, 2005 Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) is one of the dominant plants of the Fennoscandian boreal coniferous forest and constitutes a major food source for many insect herbivores.

Impacts of land use change on diaspore‐dispersing ant assemblages in southwestern Amazonia
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Land use changes shift ant assemblages, more intensive land uses are dominated by generalist and open habitat specialist species engaging in group foraging. The diaspore removal rates cannot differ, but the quality of dispersal was lower in disturbed habitats.

European Journal of Entomology, 2013 Most species of ants inhabiting the temperate zone overwinter underground, whereas those of the genus Temnothorax remain in nests aboveground. I studied the cost of aboveground overwintering. Workers of Temnothorax crassispinus survived in higher numbers

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Sheep and cattle grazing significantly shape ant and ground beetle species composition in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands, promoting higher diversity by increasing habitat heterogeneity. Ground beetles and ants reflect changes in grazing regimes, with sheep‐grazed areas showing the highest diversity, highlighting their utility in ecosystem monitoring.

European Journal of Entomology, 2003 During a survey of 23 wet heathland sites in Flanders (north Belgium) in 1999 and 2000, using both manual nest searching and pitfall traps as sampling techniques, we found 28 ant species.
