Adapting to Uncertainty: Foraging Strategies in Dinoponera quadriceps (Formicidae: Ponerinae)
InsectsSimple Summary We conducted an investigation into the foraging behavior of Dinoponera quadriceps, which is an ant species that forages solitarily. The ants were subjected to a range of foraging scenarios that included varying distances to food sources ...

Intra‐ and interspecific variation in trophic ecology of ‘predatory’ ants in the subfamily Ponerinae
Ecological Entomology, 2020 1. The characterisation of energy flow through communities is a primary goal of ecology. Furthermore, predator–prey interactions can influence both species abundance and community composition.

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.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 ...

, 1922 Ponerinae Postpetiole separated from the third abdominal segment by a constriction which is more or less marked (except in the Odontomachini and in certain males of Ponerini), almost always as broad as the third segment (except in Myrmecia and a few others). Worker and female with a powerful sting. As a rule there is a stridulating organ on the basal

Impacts of land use change on diaspore‐dispersing ant assemblages in southwestern Amazonia
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 908-917, July 2026.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.

Neotropical ants are at greater risk from global warming in savanna than in adjacent forest
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract 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 ...
