European Journal of Entomology, 2010 Five polymorphic microsatellite loci of the arboreal ant Allomerus decemarticulatus (Myrmicinae) were isolated and characterized. The amplification and polymorphism of seven additional microsatellite loci, previously developed for the ant species A ...

, 2015 Myrmicinae incertae sedis Four fossils (PIN 3429/1146, 1151, 1160, 1163) unquestionably belong to Myrmicinae but cannot be attributed to a genus because of poor preservation state. It cannot be excluded as well that they might belong to above described

Effect of Time-Since-Fire on Ant Communities in a Semi-Arid Landscape. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe sampled ants from five sites with varying fire histories (3, 5, 9, 26, and 34 years since the last fire). A total of 16,360 ants were collected, and 59 species across 20 genera were identified. Our results indicate that total ant abundance was higher in recently burnt sites and decreased with increasing time‐since‐fire, while ant species richness ...

Paving Behavior in Ants and Its Potential Application in Monitoring Two Urban Pest Ants, Solenopsis invicta and Tapinoma melanocephalum [PDF]
Insects, 2023 Our previous study discovered that two urban pest ants, red imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren (Formicidae: Myrmicinae), and ghost ants, Tapinoma melanocephalum (Fabricius) (Formicidae: Dolichoderinae), can pave viscose surfaces with particles ...

Novel Worker-Like Behavior Observed in Gynes of the Social Parasite <i>Tetramorium microgyna</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur article reports, to our knowledge, the first observations of inquiline gynes performing worker tasks for their host colony. We dissected these gynes to establish that they were all unmated. We hypothesize that nest excavation by social parasites represents an artifact of a non‐parasitic past.

Beyond Species Diversity: Functional Approaches Reveal Consistent Fauna Community Responses to Exotic Grass Invasion in Arid Lands. [PDF]
Ecol EvolTo assess whether the impacts of exotic plant invasion can be generalised across taxa, we developed a conceptual framework predicting faunal responses to grass invasion in open, arid ecosystems and tested our predictions using data on birds, reptiles and ants from sites invaded by buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and paired uninvaded sites.

Ant Diversity and Stratification in an Amazonian Rainforest. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe examined the three strata of an Amazonian rainforest (e.g., the ground and leaf litter, understory and canopy) using only two sampling techniques and analyzed their functional traits. We identified 494 ant species from 10 subfamilies and 77 genera over ≈3.0 ha, showing that they are species rich and abundant, particularly at ground level.

Neotropical ants are at greater risk from global warming in savanna than in adjacent forest. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Determining how the thermal tolerances of species are related to climatic conditions at multiple spatial scales can improve our understanding of species distributions and their vulnerability to climate change. We compare the warming tolerances—a metric of warming vulnerability—of arboreal and ground‐dwelling ants from savanna and adjacent ...
