Journal ArticleDOI
Use of arthropods for the evaluation of the olive‐orchard management regimes
Francisca Ruano,Carlos Fernández Lozano,Pedro Gómez García,Aránzazu Peña,Alberto Tinaut,Felipe Pascual,Mercedes Campos +6 more
TL;DR: The highest abundance of arthropods occurred in the integrated management orchard and the most abundant groups were Formicidae and the species Euphyllura olivinae (Homoptera: Psyllidae).
Journal ArticleDOI
High surface temperatures select for individual foraging in ants
TL;DR: Temperature influences the evolution and/or stability of chemical signals in ants by determining the recruitment of nest mates, and contrary to previous hypotheses, species that forage individually cannot be categorically considered primitive, but rather appear to be derived from recruiter species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inbreeding and local mate competition in the ant Cardiocondyla batesii
TL;DR: Though the probability of not detecting multiple mating was relatively high, at least one-third of all queens in the authors' sample had mated more than once, and multiple mating to some extent counteracts the effects of inbreeding on worker relatedness.
Journal Article
Molecular phylogeny of two slave-making ants: Rossomyrmex and Polyergus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
TL;DR: Using mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene (COI), the phylogenetic relationship between two slave-making genera of the tribe Formicini: Polyergus and Rossomyrmex is established, implying thatslave-making in the two taxa evolved independently.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dufour's gland secretion as a repellent used during usurpation by the slave-maker ant Rossomyrmex minuchae.
TL;DR: The general use of tetradecanal as a defensive compound, and its seemingly non-specific repellent effect on ants, indicate that it may act as a general ant repellents.
