Abstract:

We investigated phylogenetic relationships among the 'primitive' Australian ant genera Myrmecia and Nothomyrmecia (stat. rev.) and the Baltic amber fossil genus Prionomyrmex, using a combination of morphological and molecular data. Outgroups for the analysis included representatives from a variety of potential sister-groups, including five extant subfamilies of ants and one extinct group (Sphecomyrminae). Parsimony analysis of the morphological data provides strong support (~95% bootstrap proportions) for the monophyly of (1) genus Myrmecia, (2) genus Prionomyrmex, and (3) a clade containing t

Abstract:

This study explores the diversity of photobionts associated with the Mediterranean lichen-forming fungus Cladonia subturgida. For this purpose, we sequenced the whole ITS rDNA region by Sanger using a metabarcoding method for ITS2. A total of 41 specimens from Greece, Italy, France, Portugal, and Spain were studied. Additionally, two specimens from Spain were used to generate four cultures. Our molecular studies showed that the genus Myrmecia is the main photobiont of C. subturgida throughout its geographic distribution. This result contrasts with previous studies, which indicated that the mai

Abstract:

Here we report on the nocturnal bull ant Myrmecia pyriformis, a species whose activity to and from the nest is mainly restricted to the dawn and dusk twilight respectively. Recent research on M. pyriformis has focussed on its visual system, the timing of activity patterns, and the navigational strategies employed by individuals while foraging. There is, however, a lack of basic ecological information about this species. The present study describes the behaviour and foraging ecology of wild populations of M. pyriformis. We find that most foragers make only one foraging journey per night, leavin

Abstract:

The behaviour of the Australian bulldog ant Myrmecia nigriceps (Fr. Smith) has been studied by using moving targets characterized by sizedistance equivalence in relation to a stationary zero-point. The attack behaviour of freely moving animals demonstrated that the ants can discriminate between different targets, in the range of 5–80 cm, using movement parallax to extract information about the targets. By studying the antenna response it was possible to demonstrate that the stationary bulldog ant can utilize binocular disparity information and that this mechanism has an effective range of abou

Abstract:

While there are benefits associated with adopting a nocturnal lifestyle, there are also a number of challenges. For central place foragers, that are required to navigate to and from the nest, the challenge is the low light environment at night. As vision plays an essential role in navigation, central place foragers must be able to extract reliable navigational cues despite the extremely low ambient light levels. By studying the night-active bull ant Myrmecia pyriformis in its natural habitat, I show that the adaptations which allow for the transition from a diurnal to a nocturnal lifestyle

Abstract:

The Jack Jumper ant (Myrmecia pilosula complex) is limited geographically to the southern parts of Australia. It has a notorious reputation with the public of Tasmania because of the high incidence of allergic reactions to its sting in this part of Australia. The ant's aggressive attack and defence behaviour increases its exposure to the human population which is exacerbated because of its habit of nesting in close proximity to urban areas. Even though this ant has a very high public profile compared to other insects, very little research has examined aspects of M pilosula that influence its e

Abstract:

The understory insectivore guild is disproportionately affected by deforestation, and knowing the underlying mechanisms is critical to effective conservation. I investigated demographic, ecological, and behavioral responses of Chestnut-backed Antbird (Myrmeciza exsul) populations (a persistent understory insectivore) to a fragmented Costa Rican rainforest landscape where many ecologically similar species have declined. I estimated demographic rates to parameterize population models in three habitats differentially affected by forest fragmentation: contiguous, peninsular, and fragment. Models i
