Summary: Relations between nest moisture and daily temperature regime were studied. Two extreme situations were distinguished among the variable patterns of daily temperature regime found. The first one was characterized by increasing temperature during the day and decreasing temperature during the night and was typical for dry nests exposed to sun. The second one was characterized by a lower temperature during the day that increased rapidly during the night. This pattern occurred in moist…

Respiration in wood ant (Formica aquilonia) nests as affected by altitudinal and seasonal changes in temperature

Diurnal and seasonal fluctuations in wood ant (Formica polyctena) nest temperature in two geographically distant populations along a south – north gradient

Temperature changes were recorded continuously in eleven nests of Formica polyctena located in Southern Finland and the Czech Republic from 2003 to 2005, indicating that the geographical differences were less important than difference between seasons.

Impact of vegetation removal on the temperature and moisture content of red wood ant nests

The results support removing grass as a suitable management tool to facilitate the survival of wood ants by results in higher daily and night temperatures during the July-September period.

Factors Influencing Sun Basking in Red Wood Ants (Formica polyctena): a Field Experiment on Clustering and Phototaxis

Two basic components of sun basking, aggregation and sun exposure, are driven by a different set of environmental conditions and their interplay is likely to maintain balance between the needs of the colony to heat up the nest and risk for individual workers arising from overheating during prolonged sun exposure.

The ants were unable to accumulate lipid reserves sufficient for spring nest heating and rearing of sexuals and workers, which turned out to be an important aftereffect of the 2010 season the following year.

Control of nest water losses through building behavior in leaf-cutting ants (Acromyrmex heyeri)

The observation of a continuous turnover of thatch material indicates that the building of a nest thatch is a permanent process, and that short-term responses for the control of nest climate are guided by specific cues such as the humidity content of the air stream.

Phenology and causation of nest heating and thermoregulation in red wood ants of the Formica rufa group studied in cariferous forest habitats in southern Finland

The observations indicate that in colonies with a worker complement exceeding 1 million, nest-warming after winter could start as an autocatalytic process and hence may not require triggering by sunning, and suggest that a capacity for social thermoregula tion is a cause of thermal stability in red wood ant nests.

Temperature regulation in nests of the wood ant, Formica polyctena (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Several reactions of the wood ants to rising N-T have been found, that can be interpreted as regulatory mechanisms and the change of the adult IjIIjI from heat producers to heat consumers as a consequence of a lower humidity in overheated N hills.

Temperature Distribution and Calorimetric Determination of Heat Production in the Nest of the Wood Ant, Formica Polyctena (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)

Investigations of the nest material showed a rapid increase in oxygen con- sumption in spring and a slower decrease in autumn, and the seasonal fluctuation in the heat production of nest material coincides well with the active phase of the ants.

It is shown that by the construction of the mound the ants primarily generate a temperature-gradient during the day that provides them with better opportunities for the selection of the optimum temperatures of the various developmental stages of the brood, especially the pupae, than by nesting in the sand.
