Myrmecomorphy and Myrmecophily in Spiders: A Review

open access: yesThe Florida Entomologist, 1997
Myrmecomorphs are arthropods that have evolved a morphological resemblance to ants. Myrmecophiles are arthropods that live in or near ant nests and are considered true symbionts. The literature and natural history information about spider myrmecomorphs and myrmecophiles are reviewed.

A systematic review of the endangered genus Petrocerus Callaghan, 1979 (Lepidoptera: Riodinidae) reveals two new overlooked species

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 4, November 2025.
Abstract Taxonomy is a fundamental discipline for biology, especially for the effective conservation of biodiversity. Here, we performed a review of Petrocerus Callaghan, 1979, an endangered and hitherto monotypic butterfly genus endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.

Myrmecophily and termitophily in beetles of the superfamily Scarabaeoidea [PDF]

open access: yes
Myrmecophily and termitophily are strategies of life, that have evolved in many lineages of arthropods. The largest diversity of myrmecophiles and termitophiles is found in the insect order Coleoptera (beetles).

Molecular phylogeny of the tribe Luciini (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae): systematics and life history evolution

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 519-539, July 2025.
Phylogeny of the butterfly tribe Luciini showing Bayesian chronogram of evolution inferred with BEAST 1.10.4 and new monotypic genus Paradipsas Braby, gen. nov. Luciini are obligatorily associated with ants. Ant associations (subfamily and genus) with larvae of each butterfly species are indicated by tip circle colours. Ant attendance appears to be the

Discreet but diverse and specific: Determining plant‐herbivore interactions across a species‐rich plant family in a tropical rain forest

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.
We conducted a year‐long study in Ecuador's Yasuní National Park, focusing on nine understory Annonaceae species to investigate herbivory patterns and herbivore‐host associations. Our findings revealed significant temporal fluctuations in leaf damage, with Anaxagorea brevipes and Unonopsis veneficiorum experiencing higher herbivore pressure, and ...
