TAXON, EarlyView.Abstract Evolutionary relationships within the Melastomateae, a diverse tribe within the Melastomataceae, are not yet completely resolved, and some putatively paleoendemic taxa that might alter relationships are still unsampled. This study employs a phylogenomic approach, utilizing target capture data, to revisit generic relationships and shed light on

Foraging by predatory ants: A review
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on ecological and behavioral characteristics of foraging in ants showing the wide diversity of cases. Most ants can feed on sugary substances, but some ground‐nesting species are strict predators. Except army ants during the nomadic phase, they are central‐place foragers that can recruit nestmates when necessary. They prey mostly on

Jumping plant-lice of the Paurocephalinae (Insecta, Hemiptera, Psylloidea): systematics and phylogeny [PDF]
, 2003 Much confusion exists with respect to the content and definition of the psyUid subfamily Paurocephalinae. Based on a cladistic analysis of 22 morphological characters (16 adult and 6 larval), the subfamily is redefined to comprise the following five ...

Ant–plant relationships in an Amazonian rainforest understory: A network approach
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Tropical rainforest ants are abundant at the ground and canopy levels, but the understory is frequently neglected. Thus, we looked for ants nesting in this stratum in an Amazonian rainforest. Ants nest in the debris accumulated between the fronds of the palm tree Astrocaryum sciophilum or are associated with myrmecophytes (plants that shelter ant ...

Patterns and Drivers of Phylogenetic Beta Diversity in the Forests and Savannas of Africa
Journal of Biogeography, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aim Studying beta diversity, or the variation in species composition among communities, can give insights into plant community assembly over space and time. If different biomes show contrasting large‐scale beta‐diversity patterns, this can indicate divergent evolutionary histories or ecological processes that then drive species turnover among ...
