Form, function, and evolution of worker–worker social carrying in ants

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Social carrying is a widespread ant recruitment behavior in which one worker physically transports another, usually during nest relocation. Across 62 species, phylogenetic analyses suggest that it originated as a stereotypical, coordinated behavior, with carrying posture largely conserved within subfamilies. Its occurrence across colony sizes indicates

Ants monopolise plant resources by shelter-construction [PDF]

open access: yesActa Amazonica, 2001
In Ecuadorean Amazonas, Crematogaster ants (Myrmicinae) were observed to construct shelters of debris and plant trichomes covering and hiding extrafloral nectaries of Passiflora auriculata vines.

Size, Spines, and Nests: What Drives Variation in Death‐Feigning Behavior in Fungus‐Farming Ants?

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We investigated death‐feigning (DF; thanatosis) in fungus‐farming ants, testing how stimulus intensity, morphology, and nest traits shape its occurrence and duration using generalized linear mixed models. Stronger stimuli increased both likelihood and duration, but most variation was structured across species, colonies, and individuals.

Diversity-dependent effects probably influenced the diversification of species-rich crown ant subfamilies during the Cenozoic [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science
Disentangling the influence of biotic interactions from abiotic environmental changes is a central challenge in macroevolution. While ants’ evolutionary history has been widely studied, often in relation to abiotic factors or plant associations, the role

Combined effects of the landscape and crop management on ant communities

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
At small spatial scales, agricultural management acts as a stronger ecological filter than landscape context, significantly shaping ant community composition. Species richness and frequency did not differ among treatments, indicating the predominance of generalist species.
