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 ...

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

A combining approach to find all taxon names (FAT) [PDF]

, 2006
Most of the literature on natural history is hidden in millions of pages stacked up in our libraries. Various initiatives aim now at making these publications digitally accessible and searchable, applying xml-mark up technologies.

Tropical Biome Switching: Ant Communities Transition From Savanna to Rainforest Following Cessation of Burning

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 ...

Knowing the enemy: ant behavior and control in a pediatric hospital of Buenos Aires [PDF]

, 2014
Ant control is difficult in systems even where a variety of control strategies and compounds are allowed; in sensitive places such as hospitals, where there are often restrictions on the methods and toxicants to be applied, the challenge is even greater.

Mind the gap! Integrating taxonomic approaches to assess ant diversity at the southern extreme of the Atlantic Forest [PDF]

, 2017
Understanding patterns of species diversity rely on accurate taxonomy which can only be achieved by long-term natural history research and the use of complementary information to establish species boundaries among cryptic taxa.

Invasive ants of Bermuda revisited

Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2017
For 60+ years, two of the world’s most widespread and destructive invasive ant species, the African big-headed ant (Pheidole megacephala) from tropical Africa and the Argentine ant (Linepithema humile) from subtropical South America, have been engaged in

A Survey of the Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Arkansas and the Ozark Mountains [PDF]

, 2011
Ants are among the most abundant animals in most terrestrial ecosystems, yet local fauna are often poorly understood due to a lack of surveys. This study separated and identified ant species from arthropod samples obtained during ongoing projects by the ...
