The study of trail laying, recruitment of workers and trail‐following by worker ants comprises
a co‐operative study of entomologists and chemists that has resulted in the identification of …

Many glands are common to all social insects and occur in the queens, workers and males,
as is for example the case for the mandibular and salivary glands. The number of known …

T-and Y-mazes are powerful tools for studying the behavioural ecology and cognition of
animals, especially ants. Such mazes are cheap, easy to deploy, and very flexible, allowing …

Bringing together for the first time prominent researchers in social insect pheromone
communication, including nestmate recognition, this book looks at ants, wasps, bees, and …

All ants are eusocial, which means there are overlapping generations in which adult workers
assist their mother in rearing sisters and brothers, and there are reproductive and non …

Investigations of agricultural nonpoint source pollution typically focus on a relatively narrow
range of targeted toxic and biostimulatory compounds (eg, specific pesticides, nutrients) …

Many ants use pheromone trails to organize collective foraging. This study investigated the
rate at which a well‐established Pharaoh's ant, Monomorium pharaonis (L.), trail breaks …

Insects make great use of chemicals in communication, attack and defense. Social insects
make still greater use of them in communication. Ants, particularly, make extensive use of …

In Mediterranean habitats, temperature affects both ant foraging behaviour and community
structure. Many studies have shown that dominant species often forage at lower temperature …

The Argentine ant (Linepithema humile) is recognized as one of the world's most damaging
invasive species. One reason for the ecological dominance of introduced Argentine ant …
