Of the large number of tropical ant species, feware known to share their nests with other antspecies (Seifert 2007). Two types of communalnesting exist: compound nests, where two specieslive close together but have separate broodchambers, and mixed colonies, in which the twospecies use a common brood chamber (Wilson1971). Each of these types can be divided intoseveral subtypes according to the relationbetween the ant species involved. Speciesinteractions in compound nests range fromcleptobiosis…

Review of the genus Strumigenys (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Myrmicinae) in Hong Kong with the description of three new species and the addition of five native and four introduced species records

The species of the ant genus Strumigenys Smith, 1860 found in Hong Kong are reviewed based on new sampling efforts performed over the past five years (2014–2018), including four newly recorded species and new ecological information on the swarming periods of 11 species.

Influence of the arrival of Anoplolepis gracilipes (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) on the composition of an ant community in a clearing in Gunung Mulu National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia.

Abiotic factors like the occurrence of irregular flooding events may also have influenced community composition in this clearing, and this factor may impact invasive species more heavily than native species, which may be better adapted to these conditions.

Is nest temperature an important factor for niche partitioning by leaf-litter ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Bornean rain forests?

The results suggest that nest temperature is an important ecological factor for leaf-litter ants in rain forests on Borneo, but other factors may override its influence during community assembly.
