Journal ArticleDOI
Colony dispersal and the evolution of queen morphology in social Hymenoptera.
Christian Peeters,Fuminori Ito +1 more
TL;DR: This work focuses on the characteristics of fission in the phylogenetically primitive ants Ponerinae in which both ergatoid queens and gamergates occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Widespread occurrence of the micro-organism Wolbachia in ants
TL;DR: A first PCR–based Wolbachia screening in ants is reported on, finding that out of 50 Indo–Australian species, 50% screened positive for an A–group strain, and one of these species also harboured a B-group strain in a double infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
A linear dominance hierarchy regulating reproduction and polyethism of the queenless ant Pachycondyla sublaevis
Fuminori Ito,Seigo Higashi +1 more
TL;DR: In the queenless ant Pachycondyla (= Bothroponera) sublaevis, this is the first discovery of dominance hierarchy in which most members of a colony are potential successors of the reproductive female.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive advantages of ant-dispersed seeds in the myrmecochorous plant Trillium tschonoskii (Liliaceae)
TL;DR: The relatively short-distance dispersal of T. tschonoskii seeds by ants is sufficient to reduce seedling mortality, by reducing competition between seedlings; and that this is the primary advantage of myrmecochory in this species.
Journal ArticleDOI
An indirect mutualism between oaks and wood ants via aphids.
