Myrmica sabuleti (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) not necessary for the survival of the population of Phengaris (Maculinea) arion (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) in eastern Poland: Lower host-ant specificity or evidence for geographical variation of an endangered social parasite?

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2008
Larvae and pupae of the obligatorily myrmecophilous Phengaris (Maculinea) arion were found for the first time in nests of Myrmica rugulosa, M. hellenica and M. schencki at a site in eastern Poland. M.

Reaching new heights: Arboreal ant diversity in a North American temperate forest ecosystem

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 1, Page 95-106, January 2025.
In the first systematic survey of ant diversity in North American temperate forest canopies, only 12% of species were strictly arboreal, and ant diversity was greater on the forest floor. We compared arboreal baiting to hand‐collecting in the canopy and found that the methods capture different assemblages of arboreally active ants, such that they are ...

Simultaneous exploitation of Myrmica vandeli and M. scabrinodis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) colonies by the endangered myrmecophilous butterfly Maculinea alcon (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2004
Host-ant specificity of Maculinea alcon, an endangered obligatory myrmecophilous lycaenid butterfly, was studied at two sites in southern Poland (Świętokrzyskie Mts near Kielce). M. alcon larvae and pupae were found in nests of both Myrmica vandeli and M.

Dysdera parthenogenetica sp. nov. (Araneae, Dysderidae): A Unique Case of Parthenogenesis in Spiders

open access: yesJournal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
We studied the parthenogenetic lineages of the spider Dysdera hungarica (Araneae: Dysderidae). Based on our data, we consider them to constitute a separate taxon, Dysdera parthenogenetica sp. nov. Morphologically, the new species differs mainly by slightly reduced female copulatory organs.

Reduction in mutualistic ant aggressive behavior upon sugar supplementation

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 56, Issue 6, November 2024.
We measured the effects of sugar supplementation on ant protective behavior in the ant‐plant mutualism between Triplaris americana and Pseudomyrmex dendroicus. We tested four hypotheses: three which predict ants will attack intruding herbivores more often (“deficit”, “fuel for foraging”, “predictable rewards”) when an alternative sugar source is ...

Behavior of Paussus favieri (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Paussini): A Myrmecophilous Beetle Associated with Pheidole pallidula (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012
Several specimens of the myrmecophilous beetle Paussus favieri were reared in ant nests of Pheidole pallidula. Their interactions were recorded and all behaviors observed are described. Duration and frequency of five behaviors of P. favieri were analyzed

Heat shock proteins expression during thermal risk exposure in the temperate xerothermic ant Formica cinerea

open access: yesSociobiology, 2015
The abiotic conditions of the desert habitat fluctuate in a circadian rhythm of hot days and cold nights. Species living in desert habitats evolved many adaptations to increase their chances of survival.
