Forest Cover and Geographic Distance Shape Ant Assemblages in the Southwestern Brazilian Amazon
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.We investigated how forest cover, precipitation, and spatial distance influence ant species richness and composition in the southwestern Brazilian Amazon. We found that forest cover increases species richness, especially of forest specialists, while spatial distance is the main driver of variation in species composition.

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Ants are one of the most widespread groups of insects, but the mechanisms allowing them to coexist despite having similar nutritional needs remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the structure and competitive dynamics of ant assemblages in pineapple agrosystems of La Réunion Island.

Potential of alternative control of leaf‐cutting ants using essential oils: A systematic review
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 497-511, November 2025.Abstract Leaf‐cutting ants (LCAs) are abundant and cause considerable damage to agricultural and forest crops in the Neotropical region and are commonly controlled using sulfluramid‐based ant baits. However, this active ingredient is a precursor of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), a persistent, human‐made pollutant that poses serious environmental
