Pseudolasius spp. (Formicinae) and their trophobionts - Codispersal by colony budding
, 2003 Biological data on three species of Pseudolasius (Formicinae) provide new circumstantial evidence on the codispersal of these ants with their trophobionts, in this case Tetraneura nigriabdominalts (Aphididae) and to a lesser extent, Paracoccus sp. (Pseudococcidae).

Terminal Filament Bundling Underlies the Development of Ovariole Number Dimorphism Between Queen and Worker Ants. [PDF]
Evol DevWe trace the formation of the cell structures known to determine ovariole number in the model insect Drosophila melanogaster, called terminal filaments. By investigating the formation of terminal filaments and ovarioles during queen and worker development in ants, we confirm the existence of terminal filament bundling (white arrows) and show that it ...

Effect of Time-Since-Fire on Ant Communities in a Semi-Arid Landscape. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe 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 ...

Molecular Phylogeny of the Ant Subfamily Formicinae (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) from China Based on Mitochondrial Genes [PDF]
Sociobiology, 2013 To resolve long-standing discrepancies in the relationships among genera within the ant subfamily Formicinae, a phylogenetic study of Chinese Formicine ants based on three mitochondria genes (Cyt b, COI, COII) was conducted.

Neotropical ants are at greater risk from global warming in savanna than in adjacent forest. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Determining how the thermal tolerances of species are related to climatic conditions at multiple spatial scales can improve our understanding of species distributions and their vulnerability to climate change. We compare the warming tolerances—a metric of warming vulnerability—of arboreal and ground‐dwelling ants from savanna and adjacent ...

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations. [PDF]
Insect SciThis review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...
