Common names for Australian ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Most insects do not have common names, and this is a significant barrier to public interest in them, and to their study by non-specialists. This holds for even highly familiar insect groups such as ants. Here, I propose common names for all major native Australian ant genera and species-groups, as well as for many of the most abundant and distinctive species. Sixty-two genera, 142 species-group...
متن کاملHabitat preferences of Strumigenys ants in western Japan (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
The ant tribe Dacetini contains more than 800 species (Bolton et al. 2006). Many dacetine ants are specialized predators on soil inhabiting arthropods such as Collembola, Acarina, and to some extent also Diplura (Brown and Wilson 1959; Masuko 1984, 2009ab; Wilson 1953). Due to their peculiar morphological characteristics related to this specialized predation, dacetine ants have attracted the in...
متن کاملThe Role of Ants (hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Forensic Entomology
Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are an important component of insect biodiversity, and their study may help forensic entomologists to solve criminal cases. We review published literature and ecological principles that may guide forensic entomologists in the usage of ants as evidence with forensic value. Because ants are top predators in litter environments, their activities can affect decomposit...
متن کاملNestmate recognition in ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): a review
Nestmate recognition is the process by which individuals discriminate between nestmates and conand hetero-specifics. Nestmate recognition is based on recognition cues, which include cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs). Models of nestmate recognition predict that recognition decisions are based on the overlap of recognition cues. Colony recipients assess cue differences by comparing an individual's CH...
