Aphytophagy in butterflies: its relationship to myrmecophily
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1984 The regular or obligate aphytophagy of certain lycaenid butterflies (Lepidoptera) is discussed within the framework of the most recent general classification of the family. A summary survey of all Lycaenidae known to be aphytophagous is presented, together with a brief account of cannibalism and other opportunistic aphytophagy exhibited by normally ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 1, Page 107-115, January 2025.As specialist species are generally decreasing under the pressures of anthropogenic global change, we assessed whether myrmecophily affected 40‐year occupancy trends of gossamer‐winged butterflies (Lycaenidae) in a European region. Obligate myrmecophile butterflies showed slightly, but insignificantly, more increasing trends compared with ant ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2013 Larvae of the endangered Scarce Large Blue butterfly, Phengaris (Maculinea) teleius, are initially endophytic, feeding upon developing seeds of Sanguisorba officinalis, but complete their development as social parasites preying on the brood of Myrmica ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.We addressed how pollination meta network with vertebrate and invertebrate species is assembled in the world's most diverse savanna and identified potential biogeographical bias within the region. We found a generalization of interactions at the meta network level but a high degree of specialization within the modules, where bees are the module ...

Myrmecomorphy and Myrmecophily in Spiders: A Review
The 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.

The ant-associations and diet of the ladybird Coccinella magnifica (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2002 The ladybird Coccinella magnifica is typically considered to be myrmecophilous, and primarily associated with the Formica rufa group of wood ants. It is regularly associated with ants of the F. rufa group in north-western Europe. The very limited data on

European Journal of Entomology, 2003 Like adults, larvae of the myrmecophilous ladybird Coccinella magnifica are rarely attacked by Formica rufa ants on foraging trails, but more often attacked on ant-tended aphid colonies.
