Abstract:
... Ants are highly diverse in the Iberian Peninsula (IP), both in species richness (299 cited species) and in number of endemic species (72). The Iberian ant fauna is one of the richest in the broader Mediterranean region, it is similar to the Balkan Peninsula but lower than Greece or Israel, when species richness is controlled by the surface area. In this first general study on the biogeography of I ...

Abstract:
... Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are dominant social insects that play important ecological roles in terrestrial ecosystems. Camponotus leydigi (Forel) is widely distributed in the Neotropical region and is frequently found in the Brazilian cerrado savanna interacting with plants and other insects. Field observations indicate that C. leydigi has a polydomous nesting habit, but little is known about ...

Abstract:
... Presl, 1822, F. macrognatha Presl, 1822 and F. quadrata Holl, 1829 are considered incertae sedis in Formicidae. Thus, ten valid Formica Linnaeus, 1758 species (including F. ribbeckei) are known now from late Eocene European ambers. The diversity of Formica in the early and middle Eocene deposits of Eurasia and North America is considered. It is assumed that the genus Formica most likely arose ...

Abstract:
... The success of chemical control depends on toxicity of insecticides against insect pests. Camponotus sericeus is an important urban pest with the ability to cause substantial damage to wooden structures, but there is a lack of information on toxicity of insecticides against C. sericeus. To determine the insecticide toxicity, workers of C. sericeus were exposed to 17 insecticides from different cla ...

Abstract:
... Pseudomyrmex concolor is an Amazonian ant that works as an induced biotic defence of its host plant. Nevertheless, there is no information about the division of labour in P. concolor and how it impacts its ant–plant mutualism. We hypothesized that the spatio-temporal variation in P. concolor workers might be reflected in labour division associated with colony/plant defence. For this, we took morph ...

The most direct species-dependence of dispersal is vectored, usually cross-kingdom, movement of immobile parasites, diseases or seeds by mobile animals. Joint movements of species should, however, not be vectored by definition, as even mobile species are predi ...
