Centre of Research for Development (CORD), University of Kashmir, Srinagar 6. Govt. Degree College Boys Anantnag Kashmir [email protected] Abstract: Parasitism is the harmful co-action (disoperation) between two species. Social parasitism describes the exploitation of one species by another, for various advantages. The present paper details the social parasitism in ants. Ants are the marvels of social parasitism. There are three main types of social parasites that form mixed species ant nests: temporary social parasites, permanent inquilines and slave-makers. The paper also throws light on Emery’s rule, which states that social parasites are their host’s closest relatives. [Wani IA, Wani SA, Shah FA, Bhat SA, Ahmad TS. Najar MA.

Ants of Greece – Checklist, Comments and New Faunistic Data (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Genus Vol. 23(4): 461-563 Wrocław, 28 XII 2012 Ants of Greece – checklist, comments and new faunistic data (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) LECH BOROWIEC1 & SEBASTIAN SALATA2 Department of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Taxonomy, University of Wrocław, Przybyszewskiego, 63/77, 51-148 Wrocław, Poland, e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT. A list of 291 ant species recorded from Greece are given but approximately 15% of taxa need confirmation due to recent studies on European ants and reinterpretation of several taxa. The following 17 species are recorded from Greece for the first time:Camponotus sannini TOHMÉ & TOHMÉ, Crematogaster jehovae FOREL, Formica bruni KUTTER, Lasius jensi SEIFERT, Lasius nitidigaster SEIFERT, Lepisiota dolabellae (FOREL), Myrmica lonae FINZI, Myrmica tulinae ELMES, RADCHENKO & AKTAÇ, Temnothorax flavicornis (EMERY), Temnothorax sordidulus (MÜLLER), Temnothorax turcicus (SANTSCHI), Tetramorium hungaricum RÖSZLER, and five species not attributed to a named species:Camponotus cf. lateralis sp. 1, Camponotus cf. lateralis sp. 2, Lepisiota cf. melas sp. 1, Lepisiota cf. syriaca sp. 1, and Tetramorium cf. caespitum sp. 1. Camponotus candiotes is recorded as new species to Croatia. New faunistic data for 132 other species are given. Key words: entomology, zoogeography, catalogue, ants, Greece. INTroDUCTIoN The history of knowledge of Greek ants goes back to the early 19th century (BRUllÉ 1833) but due to the complicated history of Greece, for many years the ant fauna of the country was studied less intensively and by foreign entomologists. No regional monograph was published and the first key concerning also Greek fauna and the first checklist were papers by AGOSTI and COLLINGWOOD (1987 a, b). -

Monographic Revision of the Ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) of North
ANNALES ZOOLOGICI (Warszawa), 2005, 55(2): 127-221 MONOGRAPHIC REVISION OF THE ANTS (HYMENOPTERA: FORMICIDAE) OF NORTH KOREA Alexander Radchenko Museum and Institute of Zoology, Polish Academy of Sciences, 64, Wilcza str., 00-679 Warsaw, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract.— The monographic revision of North Korean ants is provided fist time in the World literature. This work was based on the investigation of very rich material collected by Polish and Hungarian entomologists in North Korea in 1959-1990. The collections are kept in the Museum and Institute of Zoology of , the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, in the Institute of Environmental Sciences of the Jagiellonian University, Cracow, and in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. In total, these unique collections include more than 70 thousand specimens collected in almost all regions of North Korea. Altogether, 99 ant species from 35 genera and 7 subfamilies, including 6 newly described species and 35 new to North Korea have been found; 17 species have been excluded from the list of the North Korean fauna. The monograph includes review of species, taxonomic and zoogeographical analysis of the Korean myrmecofauna, and the comparison of this fauna with that of the adjacent regions of Eastern Asia. A key for determination of all taxa of North Korean ants is also provided. Key words.— Ants, Formicidae, taxonomy, key, zoogeography. North Korea, East Palaearctic.

Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) as host and intruder: recent advances and future directions in the study of exploitative strategies Table S1: This table summarizes host/parasite relationships that have been described or discussed in the literature since 2000. Host and parasite nomenclature is up‐to‐date based on AntWeb.org, but note that some of the taxonomy is controversial and/or not fully resolved. Names are likely to change further in coming years. Due to changing nomenclature, it can be challenging to track which species have been well‐studied. We provide recently changed species and genus names parenthetically. In addition, we have split this table to show recent taxonomic revisions, compilations (e.g. tables in empirical papers), reviews, books, or species descriptions supporting relationships between hosts and parasites in one column and articles studying characteristics of host/parasite relationships in a second column. For well‐studied species, we limit the ‘primary research’ column to five citations, which are selected to cover different topics and different research teams when such diverse citations exist. Because of the active work on taxonomy in many groups, some misinformation has been inadvertently propagated in previous articles. -
