Polydomy in ants: what we know, what we think we know, and what remains to be done

TL;DR: It is shown that there is no particular syndrome of traits predictably associated with polydomy, and the existing theoretical predictions and empirical results on the ecology of polydomys and the impact ofpolydomy on social evolution and investment strategies are detailed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Floral scents: their roles in nursery pollination mutualisms

TL;DR: This review synthesized and compared the published data available on the role of floral scents in the functioning of the 16 known independently evolved nursery pollination mutualisms, and highlighted new perspectives on the evolution of signals in these diversified systems depending on the age and the degree of specificity of the interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term anthropogenic and ecological dynamics of a Mediterranean landscape: Impacts on multiple taxa

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of land use changes on land cover and biodiversity over the last 60 years were assessed within a Mediterranean landscape from southern France, and the major land use change involved a substantial decrease in sheep grazing and wood cutting corresponding to the abandonment of 70% of the study area.
Journal ArticleDOI

The use of path integration to guide route learning in ants

TL;DR: It is shown that if the value of the home vector drops while the ant approaches and passes a shape, the shape's appearance is learnt, but if the vector grows, or is absent, no visual learning occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prospects for repellent in pest control: current developments and future challenges

TL;DR: Five different types of repellent are identified: expellency, irritancy, deterrency, odor masking and visual masking, and behavioral bioassays are described to differentiate between them and are suggested based on their mechanism of action.
