Abstract:
Food acquisition is fundamental in animals. Some dietary studies of Phrynosoma have shown a strong intake of ants. The present study details sexual and seasonal variations in diet characteristics, analyzed through stomach flushing of 59 adults of Phrynosoma orbiculare captured in the State of Mexico, México. This population is strongly myrmecophagous within the genus Phrynosoma and the most myrmecophagus within the Tapaja clade. There are sexual and seasonal variation in ant consumption, a generalized linear model showed differences in diet for both factors. This study allows for comparisons w

Abstract:
The short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) is generally considered to be myrmecophagous, consuming a diet consisting of ants and termites. The range and seasonal variation of food items consumed by echidnas in the Southern Midlands of Tasmania, an area where termites are absent, was examined using faecal scat analysis. Scat analysis indicated that echidnas in this region are not purely myrmecophagous. Whilst ants were present in 96% of scats and made up 55 ± 39% of scat contents by percentage volume, non-ant food items (scarab larvae and Oxycanus moth larvae) were found in 72% of scats.

Abstract:
Ursids have adapted to environments ranging from the tropics to the arctic, and although the family is noted for its omnivory, some species have specialized food habits. The sloth bear (Melursus ursinus) has specialized on insect prey, particularly termites and ants, and exhibits some characteristics and behaviors that are common among myrmecophagous mammals. We examined whether myrmecophagy has affected its sociobiology. During 1990-1994 we studied a high-density population of sloth bears in Royal Chitwan National Park, Nepal. We found extensive seasonal overlap among home ranges of adults of

Abstract:
Characterisations of the Sloth bear (Melursus ursinus) diet during three distinguished seasons (monsoon, winter and summer) in the semi-arid region of western India was under study. Diet was estimated using scat analysis, based on the calculation of Index of Relative Importance (IRI) in order to determine the contribution of different food items in the Sloth bear diet. Sloth bears were observed to feed on a wide variety of prey items. They are specialized on insect prey, particularly termites or ants, and are considered as myrmecophagous. The myrmecophagousis character was confirmed by the hig

This study was designed to determine the effect of predation by the zodariid, obligate myrmecophagous spider Zodarion elegans (Simon, 1873) on the activity pattern and behavior of the Mediterranean harvester ant Messor wasmanni Krausse, 1910. Previous field studies suggested that the activity patterns of M. wasmanni colonies are modified not only by microclimatic conditions, but also by biological factors such as the presence of predators. The present study clearly demonstrates that M. wasmanni colonies respond in two different ways to spider predation. The ants 1) attack the invader, and 2) t

L'adaptation à la myrmécophagie (consommation de fourmis et/ou de termites) chez les mammifères placentaires représente un exemple classique d'évolution convergente qui correspond à l’évolution indépendante de phénotypes similaires dans différentes lignées. Les espèces myrmécophages ont évolué au moins cinq fois indépendamment chez les placentaires et comprennent les oryctéropes (Tubulidentata), les tatous (Cingulata), les fourmiliers (Pilosa), les pangolins (Pholidota) et les protèles (Carnivora).
