The results show that the high conservation potential of limestone quarries could be realized by allowing succession to progress spontaneously with minimal intervention, and active restoration measures at post-mining sites should be limited to maintenance of early successional stages, instead of acceleration of succession.

The results indicate that the aquatic and semi‐aquatic true bugs evolved under environmental conditions of high air temperature and humidity in an evolutionary scenario similar to that of the aquatic holometabolans.

It is proposed that Lipara gall-associated assemblages undergo a long-term cyclic ecological succession, with (post)industrials serving as the only refugia for pioneer species ousted from their key nesting habitats at once cyclically disturbed gravel-sand river terraces.

- 6 April 2011
In workers of both new species abdominal segments II and III are rigidly fused together across both tergites and sternites, this is the first report of such fused abdominal morphology in worker Formicidae.
