Abstract:

The little fire ant (Wasmannia auropunctata) is one of the worst invasive exotic species of the world. Its pantropical expansion is explosive; the ant has been present in Tahiti for more than 20 years. This study is the first to be carried out in Tahiti to assess its ecological impacts. The ecological richness of three invaded environments located in or close to the Key Biodiversity Areas (Maruapo, Papehue, Hopuetamai and Orofero Valleys) was compared with that of adjoining uninvaded sites, in a xerophytic site of ferns and a rainforest in the bottom of a valley for invertebrates and finally a

Native to the Neotropics, Wasmannia auropunctata has spread to numerous other tropical and subtropical areas, where it is can reach extremely high densities and threaten the local biota. To evaluate the worldwide spread of W. auropunctata, I compiled published and unpublished specimen records from > 1700 sites. I documented the earliest known W. auropunctata records for 53 geographic areas (countries, island groups, major West Indian islands, and US states), including many with no previously published records: Anguilla, Antigua, Barbuda, Caicos Islands, El Salvador, Guam, Montserrat, Nevis,

Abstract Ants have been suggested as one of many population pressures sea turtles face potentially affecting nesting-beach survival of eggs and hatchlings. However, little is known about the extent to which ants act as incidental or primary mortality factors. Most research has focused on New World fire ants (genus Solenopsis), with confirmed records of other ant species interactions with sea turtle nests in situ being rare. Our study documented the ant species associated with loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta (Linnaeus) (Testudines: Cheloniidae) nests in Georgia and determined if ant prese

AbstractBody size is an important life-history trait in eusocial insects which plays a key role in colony fitness. The division of labour, represented by caste polyethism, correlates with divergent morphological traits. Size polymorphism has been noted in the tropical fire ant, Solenopsis geminata; however, little is known regarding the differences in the size distributions of workers performing foraging tasks. In the present study, task partitioning was observed in the foraging activities of S. geminata. Two subgroups among foraging workers of S. geminata were discovered using the Gaussian mi

Abstract:

Ecological disturbance is fundamental for grassland management and the maintenance of its biodiversity. Fire and grazing are the primary habitat disturbances influencing the structure and composition of grassland ecosystems, both acting to remove grass biomass. Little is known about the effects of such grass biomass removal on grassland ants, an ecologically dominant faunal group. Our study assesses the response of ant communities to long-term experimental burning and mowing treatments in a South African mesic grassland. The study’s main objectives were (i) to assess the effect of frequency an
