Balancing risk and opportunity: Nasute termite responses to predator and competitor chemical cues

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Nasutitermes corniger discriminates between heterospecific chemical cues during foraging, showing non‐random resource selection based on predator and competitor information. Predator chemical cues consistently reduce food resource selection, indicating avoidance driven by perceived predation risk rather than direct encounters.

Inflorescences of the Bromeliad Vriesea friburgensis as Nest Sites and Food Resources for Ants and Other Arthropods in Brazil

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
For the first time, the usage of bromeliad inflorescences as nesting sites for ants and other arthropods was studied. Frequencies of occurrence of nests were recorded from hollow stems of dried infructescences of the bromeliad Vriesea friburgensis on Santa Catarina Island, southern Brazil.

Insights Into the Persistence and Vulnerability of Tropical Peat Carbon Stocks From a Long‐Term Field Decomposition Experiment

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Tropical peatlands contain around one‐sixth of the global peat carbon stock. Decomposition is a key determinant of tropical peat persistence, but there is a scarcity of data on decomposition in tropical peatlands. To further understand decomposition in tropical peatlands, we conducted an 8‐year field experiment in a primary peat swamp forest ...

Associations of Two Ecologically Significant Social Insect Taxa in the Litter of an Amazonian Rainforest: Is There a Relationship between Ant and Termite Species Richness?

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
In spite of the ecological dominance of Neotropical ants and termites, little is understood about how their interactions influence their species richness and distribution. We surveyed ground‐dwelling termite and ant species in a primary rainforest in Ecuador and analyzed ecological correlates of diversity.
