Habitat Amount Shapes Ant Diversity in the Central Amazon
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.Ant diversity in fragmented Amazonian forest landscapes is primarily driven by landscape‐scale habitat amount rather than fragment size, supporting the Habitat Amount Hypothesis (HAH) over Island Biogeography Theory (IBT). Consequently, conservation strategies should prioritize maintaining and restoring forest cover across human‐modified landscapes ...

The Larva of Acanthognathus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 1969 In 1953 Brown divided the tribe Dacetini into four subtribes: Dacetiti, Orectognathi, Epopostrumiti and Strumigenitio. After studying the larvae of eight dacetine genera (Daceton, Orectognathus, Epopostruma, Mesostruma, Alistruma, Clarkistruma ...

Epigaeic ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) communities in urban parks located in Atlantic Forest biome [PDF]
Check List, 2016 Urban parks offer refuge for numerous animal species, and some of these parks represent the remaining fragments of native forests. We evaluate the diversity and composition of epigaeic ant species (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in urban parks located within ...

The preference for energetic resources is positively associated with predatory activity in ants
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 921-932, October 2025.We found that ants exhibit a stronger preference for foraging for carbohydrates and lipids (energetic nutrients) compared to amino acids. The increase in foraging for energetic nutrients compared to amino acids is positively correlated with foraging in larvae (insect predation). The nutrient preference between foraging for energetic nutrients and amino

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Savannas and rainforests co‐occur as mosaics across large areas of the tropics. These mosaics are dynamic, with savanna and rainforest switching in relatively short time scales, largely through the effects of fire. Most research to date addresses such biome switching through the lens of vegetation, with little attention given to faunal ...

Adaptive phenotypic variation among clonal ant workers [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Phenotypic variations are observed in most organisms, but their significance is not always known. The phenotypic variations observed in social insects are exceptions.
