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...

A North Florida Ant Fauna (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Uso del algoritmo de colonia de hormigas en el aprendizaje de redes bayesianas

The bayesian networks model phenomena through a set of variables and their dependence. With these models is possible to develop bayesian inference. The models have several applications in data classification, data prediction, diagnostics, etc. Also, these models provide revelant information about the relationship between the variables and sometimes can be interpreted as a cause-effect relations...

Ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Communities of the Southern Cumberland Plateau

The Cumberland Plateau supports diverse plant communities that vary greatly across cove and plateau habitats. Unfortunately, little is known about how terrestrial invertebrate communities vary across cove andplateauhabitats andhowdisturbanceaffects these communities. Toaddress this deÞciency, we used the Ant Leaf Litter protocol to survey ant diversity on the southern Cumberland Plateau in Tenn...

Survey of the exocrine system in Protanilla wallacei (Hymenoptera, Formicidae).

We studied the exocrine system of both workers and ergatoid queens of Protanilla wallacei using light, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Our survey revealed the presence of 26 glands, of which 6 had never been found before in ants. Five of these represent novel discoveries for social insects in general. The overall novel discoveries comprise an epithelial stipes gland, a pharyngeal...
