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 ...

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations. [PDF]
Insect SciThis review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

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.

Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2004 Myrmicinae es la subfamilia de hormigas más grande en especies y aunque se acepta como un grupo natural (monofilético), existen muy escasos estudios que intenten resolver la sistemática y filogenia de las numerosas tribus y géneros propuestos.

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 ...

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 ...

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.
