Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 511-529, May 2026.We performed an IUCN Red List assessment for 159 dung beetle species from Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. Due to the lack of population demographic data, only Criterion B (i.e. geographic range) could be applied. Our findings show that the IUCN Red List Criteria can be applied to insect species based solely on occurrence data but highlight the importance of ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 385-400, March 2026.Holoendoparasites are extremely rare plants that live entirely hidden inside their hosts, with only flowers and fruits visible. We studied Apodanthes caseariae, found in central and South America, parasitizing Casearia sylvestris. Little is known about its life cycle.

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 29-39, March 2026.Colour‐coded perlites were treated with specific fatty acids or mono‐, di‐ or triglycerides as perlite pickup cues for laboratory and field colonies of western carpenter ants. In laboratory and field experiments, ant colonies were offered multiple choices of these colour‐coded lipid‐treated perlites for pickup and transport to the nest.

European Journal of Entomology, 2007 The initially phytophagous caterpillars of Maculinea alcon and M. rebeli complete their development in Myrmica ant colonies as social parasites. Recent genetic studies show no differences at the species level among various populations of each butterfly ...

British Myrmecophilous Insects [PDF]
Nature, 1929 ONE of the most interesting and remarkable features of the biology of social insects is betrayed in the relationships they maintain with other animals living in association with them. A very large number of the latter creatures are myrmeco-philes or ant guests and the majority of them are insects.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Camponotus lateralis (C, D) mimics regional color morphs of Crematogaster (A, B). Field trips brought insights into ecology, trail sharing, sexual reproduction, colony foundation, nest defense, and predation pressure of this mimetic ant. We found that the mimicry is Batesian and suggest several preadaptations for its evolution.

Multimodal Signaling in Myrmecophilous Butterflies
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Ant nests and their surrounding territories represent a hoard of trophic resources, as well as of stable and protected environments for many arthropods involved in commensal, mutualistic, or parasitic associations.

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 1137-1147, December 2025.Our results show that ants reduced leaf herbivory on plants offering both EFN and trophobiotic insects. Although ants did not directly affect pollinator behaviour, leaf herbivory in plants hosting treehoppers indirectly influenced pollination by reducing both visit duration and frequency.

Natura SloveniaeAnts from the Formica rufa group, also known as red wood ants, build large mound nests and play an important role in their environment, especially in forests. Their nests harbour a species rich and abundant myrmecophilous fauna, including a few European

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 11, November 2025.Invasive ants threaten biodiversity worldwide. They may benefit from being novel if native species fail to show appropriate responses to their cues. Cues include chemical footprints (or ‘home‐range markings' in ants) left by all walking insects, which resemble cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs).
