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 ...

Ant-isopod interactions: spanning predation, facilitation, and myrmecophily
European Journal of Soil BiologyAnts and terrestrial isopods are two key groups within soil ecosystems both in terms of their biomass and the vital functions they contribute to. Despite the ecological importance of both groups and their frequent interactions, the dynamics between ants and terrestrial isopods remain poorly understood.

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 ...

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.

Myrmecophily among mesostigmatid mites
Insectes SociauxAbstract Ant nests are biodiversity hot spots, concentrating resources from a wide area that can be exploited by other organisms, known as myrmecophiles. The mite order Mesostigmata includes a wide range of lineages that have become myrmecophiles with many species reliant on ant nests for at least part of their development.

Simbiose entre lagartas e formigas e sua influência sobre a assembleia de parasitoides associados em uma floresta tropical [PDF]
, 2021 Muitas espécies de Lycaenidae e de Riodinidae (Lepidoptera) estabelecem mutualismos protetivos com formigas (mirmecofilia) que podem dificultar o ataque de inimigos naturais, incluindo insetos parasitoides.

European 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.
