Fast Food Delivery: Is There a Way for Foraging Success in Leaf-Cutting Ants?
Sociobiology, 2015 Walking long distances through a trail system is an intrinsic feature of the leaf-cutting ants. Workers travel hundred of meters to forage by using well-defined physical routes which are cleared of vegetation or obstacles.

Diversity, prevalence and virulence of fungal entomopathogens in colonies of the ant Formica selysi [PDF]
, 2012 The richness of the parasitic community associated with social insect colonies has rarely been investigated. Moreover, understanding how hosts and pathogens interact in nature is important to interpret results from laboratory experiments.

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.This review highlights the characteristic odor markers of illicit drugs, emphasizing volatile markers from both natural and synthetic sources, and explores the shift from canine‐based detection to emerging noncontact sensing technologies. Illicit drug use remains a global concern, requiring effective detection methods to counter evolving concealment ...

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2006 Behavioral assays were conducted with individuals from monogynous and polygynous colonies of Acromyrmex subterraneus molestans to evaluate the discriminatory ability of ant workers. These bioassays showed that this subspecies could not discriminate among

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study investigates how large mammalian herbivores shape arthropod communities in African savannas, using a broad gradient of herbivory types and intensities to assess these effects under real‐world, non‐experimental conditions. Abstract Savanna ecosystems support unique biodiversity and provide livelihoods for millions of people.
