The state of the art of Formicidae biogeographic studies using distribution modeling tools
was reviewed. We aimed to evaluate how and for what purpose such tools were used in ant …

Research findings in natural sciences need to be comparable and reproducible to effectively
improve our understanding of ecological and behavioural patterns. In this sense, knowledge …

The genus Strumigenys is the third most diverse among ants, having been reviewed
globally. Despite this comprehensive review, new species are frequently discovered in most …

Abstract The Atlantic Forest is the third largest biome in Brazil, the most sampled, and has
the second highest diversity of ant species described. However, these data are spatially very …

The habitat heterogeneity hypothesis predicts that increasing habitat structural complexity
will result in greater species richness and diversity. We employed ants as a model organism …

Urban environments are characterized by profound differences in abiotic conditions
compared to natural environments, which filter one part of the biotic communities that endure …

In cities, habitats classified as green areas are especially important for the conservation of
species. Therefore, understanding how different biological groups are influenced by …

Ants are a ubiquitous, diverse, and ecologically dominant group that uses different types of
substrates for nesting. These nests provide protection and food in a temperature-and …

The Malaise trap is widely used for monitoring the diversity of flying insects. The
omnidirectional model (Omnidirectional flight trap) is well known when hung in the …

Originally viewed as monstrosities or scientific curiosities, developmental anomalies have
been widely reported in arthropods since the nineteenth century. However, it was only after …
