Subterranean ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) as prey of fossorial reptiles (Reptilia, Squamata: Amphisbaenidae) in Central Brazil

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2008
The ant diversity observed in stomach contents of fossorial reptiles was compared to the subterranean ant richness collected using traditional and modern techniques of ant collections. We analyzed the alimentary tract of 64 specimens of amphisbaenians (4

Inonotus obliquus Ameliorates Metabolic Dysfunction and Attenuates Obesity by Enriching Enterococcus casseliflavus

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
Inonotus obliquus mitigates obesity through the targeted enrichment of intestinal Enterococcus casseliflavus (EC). EC facilitates thermogenesis in adipose tissues, augments energy expenditure, enhances systemic metabolic homeostasis, and diminishes low‐grade inflammation.

Impacts of land use change on diaspore‐dispersing ant assemblages in southwestern Amazonia

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 908-917, July 2026.
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.

Ant‐Mediated Ecosystem Functions Along a Tropical Elevational Gradient

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Elevational gradients are excellent systems to study biodiversity variation, yet the ecosystem functions performed by animals along these gradients are poorly understood. We assessed tropical elevational patterns of ant‐mediated seed removal, insect predation and the phylogenetic diversity of the local ant assemblages performing these ...

Enhanced Endoscopic Internal Drainage of Gastric Abscess Through Additively Manufactured Stents

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 21, 5 June 2026.
Postoperative gastric leaks are often treated with off‐label biliary double‐pigtail stents, yet conventional extruded designs are not optimized for leak anatomy, can migrate, and may limit abscess evacuation. PETALS is introduced to optimize transmural drainage geometry and enable patient‐specific 3D‐printable stents.

Sobre beija-flores, formigas e flores [PDF]

Anais da Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz, 1979
Relata-se a relação entre beija-flores, formigas e flores de uma malvácea, Abutilon striatum, tendo-se achado que beija-flores e meliponídeos colhem o seu néctar e, uma vez tendo o seu cálice perfurado pelos últimos, são invadidas por formigas.

Beyond Hard Parts: Metabarcoding Advances Dietary Resolution in Threatened Amazonian Elasmobranchs

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Elasmobranchs are highly vulnerable and are considered one of the most threatened vertebrates worldwide. Insights into diet can improve conservation measures. The bias of traditional morphological methods towards taxa with distinctive hard parts makes metabarcoding analysis a complementary tool to assess diet composition. Here, we analysed the

Formigas - Parte I

, 2012
No programa Rádio Cangália, os radialistas Ivone e Henrique, juntamente com o mal humorado professor Leumas, discutem a descoberta de que as formigas são capazes de contar, e que usam a contagem de passos para medir as distâncias que percorrem.
