Demographic analysis of behavioral reactions of African bush elephants to a synthetic honey bee alarm pheromone blend

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Human–elephant conflict situations continue to be a growing conservation issue. Conflict situations typically arise as the result of elephants traversing places with infrastructure where they become disruptive to human activities. Developing passive options for managing elephant movement and reducing human–elephant conflict situations is a conservation

Ant diversity (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and predation by ants on the different stages of the sugarcane borer life cycle Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2012
The sugarcane borer Diatraea saccharalis is an important pest of sugarcane and ants are one of its main predators. The practice of burning sugarcane straw in situ after harvest has been gradually replaced in Brazil by other practices.

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

Not simply red: Colouration of red wood ant Formica rufa (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is polymorphic, modular and size-dependent

European Journal of Entomology, 2017
Insects produce pigment and structural colours mainly for camouflage, signaling, physical protection or temperature regulation, and colour patterns can provide information about individual quality.

Differences in the behaviour of model and non-model species of ants in interactions with the pod-sucking myrmecomorphic bug, Riptortus linearis (Hemiptera: Alydidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2021
Ants are common invertebrate models of many myrmecomorphic arthropods since they are unpalatable and pose a threat for many species. Natural habitats harbour a diverse community of different species of ants and their mimics.
