Small workers are more persistent when providing and requiring help in a monomorphic ant
The common sand-dwelling Formica cinerea ants possess monomorphic workers, yet with
considerable and easily identified size variation. Considering the importance of body size in …

Are there multiple motivators for helping behavior in rats?
Empathy is the ability to (a) be affected by and share the emotional state of another;(b)
assess the reasons for the other's state; and (c) identify with the other, adopting their …

Foraging is prioritized over nestmate rescue in desert ants and pupae are rescued more than adults
Social animals, and ants, in particular, exhibit a range of cooperative behaviors. One such
behavior is the rescue of group members, which cannot return to the nest by themselves …

Convergent evolution of antlions and wormlions: similarities and differences in the behavioural ecology of unrelated trap-building predators
Antlions and wormlions are unrelated insect taxa, but both construct pit traps in loose soil
and hunt similar prey. Owing to the likeness of their hunting strategies, and since no other …

Comparative analysis of experimental testing procedures for the elicitation of rescue actions in ants
Rescue behavior is observed when 1 individual provides help to another individual in
danger. Most reports of rescue behavior concern ants (Formicidae), in which workers rescue …

Heat wave effects on the behavior and life-history traits of sedentary antlions
Research on the behavioral responses of animals to extreme weather events, such as heat
wave, is lacking even though their frequency and intensity in nature are increasing. Here, we …

Life expectancy in ants explains variation in helpfulness regardless of phylogenetic relatedness
Rescue behavior aims to free a relative from danger. Ants are particularly known for such
helpfulness and, perhaps not coincidentally, also show the highest level of social …

Past thermal conditions affect hunting behaviour in larval antlions
K Miler, M Czarnoleski - Royal Society Open Science, 2021 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Some sit-and-wait predators, such as antlion larvae, construct traps to capture passing prey.
The location of these traps depends on many abiotic and biotic factors, including …
