A new pheromone in the ant Pheidole pallidula (Myrmicinae) [PDF]
Behavioural Processes, 1991 In the dimorphic species Pheidole pallidula, an ethological factor, present on the VIIth abdominal sternite attracts ants from short distances and enhances the linear speed of those having approached it. Added to poison gland extract, it improves the workers' trail following behaviour.

Species polyethism in heterospecific groups of Myrmicinae ants
Ethology Ecology and Evolution, 1995We studied species polyethism in heterospecific queenless and queenright groups of ants by associating Manica rubida (olygogynous) individuals with Myrmica rubra (polygynous) and Myrmica ruginodis (monogynous) individuals, respectively. In queenless and queenright groups, Myrmica workers specialized in brood care and guarding the nest while Manica ...

Area marking in the ant Pheidole pallidula (Myrmicinae)
Behavioural Processes, 1996The Mediterranean dimorphic ant Pheidole pallidula has a rapid, short-lasting and species-specific homerange area marking. It is performed by the minor workers, which are stimulated to mark by the major workers. The first few minors reaching a new area move on it very slowly and begin to mark it by depositing spots of their Dufour gland content.

The Male of the Ant Genus Rhopalothrix (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Myrmicinae)
Neotropical Entomology, 2022The male caste is firstly described for the ant genus Rhopalothrix. The male was collected as attached to the gyne during copula. Due to the rarity of the genus, the gyne and male are tentatively associated with R. apertor Longino and Boudinot 2013. The apomorphic features of Rhopalothrix male are discussed, and a preliminary identification key based ...

Direct homing behaviour in the antTetramorium caespitum(Formicidae, Myrmicinae)
Animal Behaviour, 1998Direct homing refers to the behaviour whereby an ant with food runs in an almost straight line to the nest. We determined whether non-polarized light acts as a directional cue in the direct homing behaviour of the grass ant, Tetramorium caespitum. We carried out tests (1) under a blue sky or in total overcast conditions in the field, and (2) with a ...

A hitherto unknown ethological factor in the ant Tetramorium impurum (Myrmicinae) [PDF]
Behavioural Processes, 1991 In Tetramorium impurum, an ethological factor can be found on workers' last visible abdominal sternite. For a short time, it attracts ants, increases their linear speed and enhances the efficiency of the trail pheromone. This factor is not colony-specific but may play a role in the foraging and recruiting systems of the species.
