The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
This 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 ...

Impacts of land use change on diaspore‐dispersing ant assemblages in southwestern Amazonia
Land use changes shift ant assemblages, more intensive land uses are dominated by generalist and open habitat specialist species engaging in group foraging. The diaspore removal rates cannot differ, but the quality of dispersal was lower in disturbed habitats.

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 ...

In our recent study, we examined whether ants in the Brazilian Cerrado follow the “grain‐size hypothesis,” which proposes that larger ants should have proportionally longer legs to move efficiently across different environments. We used Ectatomma permagnum, a common predatory ant in the Cerrado, measuring hundreds of individuals collected from various ...
