How plants shape the ant community in the Amazonian rainforest canopy: the key role of extrafloral nectaries and homopteran honeydew

It is hypothesized that the high availability of homopteran honeydew provides a key resource for ant mosaics, where dominant ant colonies and species maintain mutually exclusive territories on trees.

Mandibular Gland Secretion in Different Castes of the Leaf-Cutter Ant Atta laevigata

Gas chromatography analyses and behavioral assays showed that Atta laevigata, a highly polymorphic ant species, has a mandibular gland secretion that varies with castes, and the results suggest that chemical caste, behavioral castes and morphological castes overlap in this species.

Ant wars: combat strategies, territory and nest defence in the leaf-cutting ant Atta laevigata

Two laws have been highlighted when discussing combat strategies in ants: the linear law (in a series of one-to-one conflicts, a few good fighters are better than many poor fighters) and the square…

Manipulating the Alpha Level Cannot Cure Significance Testing

We argue that making accept/reject decisions on scientific hypotheses, including a recent call for changing the canonical alpha level from p = 0.05 to p = 0.005, is deleterious for the finding of new…
