Evolution of Crematogaster sordidula (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) Ants in the Mediterranean Region During Plio‐Pleistocene Climatic Changes

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding insect responses to global climate change involves identifying strategies used during past climate oscillations. Phylogeography offers a powerful framework to unravel how historical climatic and geological events have shaped the spatial genetic patterns of species, providing critical insights into evolutionary processes, whereas ...

Ant communities (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Flemish (north Belgium) wet heathlands, a declining habitat in Europe

open access: yesEuropean 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.

Understanding the Hygienic Behavioral Dynamics of Ants Using Multi‐State Models

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 361-370, April 2026.
Leaf‐cutting ants adjust grooming to pathogen risk and vulnerable nestmates. Multi‐state Markov models reveal shorter, frequent self‐grooming bouts and reduced allogrooming persistence under stress, optimizing social immunity via stigmergic decision‐making.

Height and phytotelm size affect the invertebrate communities of epiphytic bromeliads in the Amazon rainforest

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 221-234, April 2026.
The height at which epiphytic bromeliads are found affects the invertebrate community composition within them. The size of epiphytic bromeliads is positively correlated with species richness of both aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. Whether bromeliads were found in primary or secondary forest did not have a significant effect on the community of ...

Determining Terminal Velocities of Selected Insects and Substitute Materials to Develop Future Test Procedures for Insect‐Friendly Mowing Technology

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 310-320, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural grasslands are vital habitats for insects that provide key ecosystem services. However, conventional rotary mowers are proposed to cause significant insect mortality due to the high rotational speed of their blades and the resulting airflow.

Potential for the American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) to contribute to biological control in a vegetable agroecosystem

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) is a native insectivorous amphibian common in agricultural fields in eastern North America. Past research on this and related species suggests potential for positive or negative effects on pest populations, depending on the prevalence of intraguild predation.

Bait visitation by Formica lemani (Hymenoptera: Fomicidae) indicates shortage of carbohydrates in alpine grasslands

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2018
Insights can be gained by analysing the feeding decisions of animals in terms of nutrient demands at a species or community level. Using carbohydrate and protein food baits, resource use and food preferences of Formica (Serviformica) lemani were ...

Effect of Time‐Since‐Fire on Ant Communities in a Semi‐Arid Landscape

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We sampled ants from five sites with varying fire histories (3, 5, 9, 26, and 34 years since the last fire). A total of 16,360 ants were collected, and 59 species across 20 genera were identified. Our results indicate that total ant abundance was higher in recently burnt sites and decreased with increasing time‐since‐fire, while ant species richness ...

Una nueva especie del género Rossomyrmex Arnoldi, 1928 de Turquía (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)

open access: yesGraellsia, 2007
Se describe Rossomyrmex anatolicus, nueva especie encontrada en las llanuras de Anatolia (Turquía). Muy parecida a R. proformicarum por la abundante pilosidad, se diferencia de ésta por el peciolo, que se estrecha gradualmente hasta el ápice.
