Understanding the Hygienic Behavioral Dynamics of Ants Using Multi‐State Models

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 361-370, April 2026.
Leaf‐cutting ants adjust grooming to pathogen risk and vulnerable nestmates. Multi‐state Markov models reveal shorter, frequent self‐grooming bouts and reduced allogrooming persistence under stress, optimizing social immunity via stigmergic decision‐making.

Influence of insecticide treatment on ant diversity in tropical agroforest system: The case of Cameroonian cocoa farms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In order to understand the influence of anthropogenic disturbance on ant communities in tropical region; we conducted a study in southern Cameroonian cocoa farm.

Overview of the Distribution, Habitat Association and Impact of Exotic Ants on Native Ant Communities in New Caledonia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Ants are among the most ubiquitous and harmful invaders worldwide, but there are few regional studies of their relationships with habitat and native ant communities.

The role of habitat simplification and seasonality in shaping interactions between ants, plants and herbivores in a neotropical savanna

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 381-394, April 2026.
We evaluated how chronic anthropogenic disturbances (CAD) and seasonal variation influence interactions between ants and plants with extrafloral nectaries (EFN's), with emphasis on the responses of ants, herbivores, and plants. Ant and herbivore diversity remained stable across seasons in the preserved cerrado, whereas the pasture had higher ant ...

The Diversity of Ants in Different Land Develompental: An Agroforestry Phase Approach

open access: yesJurnal Ilmu Kehutanan, 2019
The levels of land development process typically followed by changes in the vegetation structure of the ecosystems that comprises it. In a process, interventions whether artificial (human) or naturals were able to affect land development, either support ...

Diversity and mosaic structure of ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) community in traditional cocoa agroforestry systems in southern Cameroon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In cocoa agrosforestry systems, ants are the major arthropod component of the canopy. Since dominant ant species are usually active predators of insects. Ant community may contribute to protect cocoa against insect pests, and especially from cocoa mirids.

Genomics‐Based Approaches to Ant Monitoring in Land Management: Validation of COI Metabarcoding Primers

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
We validated ant‐specific COI metabarcoding primers using in silico, in vitro and in situ analyses, identifying assays that improve ant detection from mock communities, spike‐in tests and soil eDNA. The recommended assays reduce reliance on taxonomic expertise and enable scalable, high‐throughput ant biomonitoring for land‐management applications ...
