    FOCUS ON RESEARCH E.O. Wilson’s view of life takes in all things small and great. by JOHN S. ROSENBERG ormal retirement hasn’t slowed E.O. Wilson down at all. Since assuming emeritus status as Pellegrino University Research Professor in 1997, Wilson— the father of sociobiology and biophilia, the most acute student of ants among contemporary scholars, perhaps the foremost scientific spokesman for the im- portance of biodiversity—has, if anything, stepped up the pace of his research and writing and of his advocacy for conservation, toward which his science Fhas impelled him. Last year, he published The Future of Life, the most accessible and impassioned of his appeals to humans to take heed of the millions of other species that make the planet habitable. This March, Harvard University Press delivers Pheidole in the New World, Wil- son’s enormous monograph on the “hyperdiverse” ant genus he has scrutinized for decades. The latter work is, first, a labor of love: Wilson took 16 years to complete it as an after-hours “hobby” at home, drawing all 5,000-plus illustrations himself. In schol- arly terms, it bridges the established science of biological systematics and its emerging future: a CD accompanies the printed book, and work underway at the Museum of Comparative Zoology and elsewhere assures that such painstaking research will henceforth be refined and accelerated using digital imaging and genomics techniques, and then promptly disseminated to users worldwide by the Internet. Further, the finished book makes a compelling case in Wilson’s larger argument about the daz- zling, barely understood, complexity of life: of the 624 known Pheidole species in the Western Hemisphere described here, he says, 337 are new to science.

  • Manipulating Tropical Fire Ants to Reduce the Coffee Berry Borer
    Ecological Entomology (2014), DOI: 10.1111/een.12139 Manipulating tropical fire ants to reduce the coffee berry borer WARING TRIBLE1 and R O N C A R R O L L 2 1The Rockefeller University, New York , New York, U.S.A. and 2Odum School of Ecology, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, U.S.A. Abstract. 1. The coffee berry borer Hypothenemus hampei (Coleoptera, Curculion- idae) (Ferrari) is the most important pest of coffee production worldwide. 2. The hypothesis that the tropical !re ant, Solenopsis geminata Westwood, indirectly protects the coffee berry borer by suppressing other ant species that are the coffee berry borer’s primary predators was tested. 3. It was found that removing S. geminata from coffee plots signi!cantly increased the disappearance of adult coffee berry borer beetles from coffee berries compared with control plots. An average of 6% of beetles disappeared from plots with S. geminata whereas 23% of beetles disappeared from plots from which S. geminata was removed. This pattern was observed on two shade coffee farms with marked differences in ant species composition, one in the rainforest in central Costa Rica and one in the cloudforest in northwest Costa Rica. 4. If the results of this small-scale study can be replicated on the farm level, then S. geminata suppression may represent a new management technique for the coffee berry borer throughout Central and South America. Key words. Biological control, coffee berry borer, !re ant, Formicidae, Hypothenemus hampei, Solenopsis. Introduction coffee berries in the soil, and soil-dwelling ants may thus play an important role in reducing dry season coffee berry borer Coffee is the second most important commodity in the world by populations and minimising future outbreaks (Armbrecht & value, and the coffee berry borer is a beetle that constitutes the Gallego, 2007; Jaramillo et al.,2007;Chapmanet al.,2009; most important pest in coffee production worldwide (Damon, Vélez et al., 2006).

  • Thievery in Rainforest Fungus-Growing Ants: Interspecific Assault on Culturing Material at Nest Entrance
    Insectes Sociaux (2018) 65:507–510 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00040-018-0632-9 Insectes Sociaux SHORT COMMUNICATION Thievery in rainforest fungus-growing ants: interspecific assault on culturing material at nest entrance M. U. V. Ronque1 · G. H. Migliorini2 · P. S. Oliveira3 Received: 15 March 2018 / Revised: 21 May 2018 / Accepted: 22 May 2018 / Published online: 5 June 2018 © International Union for the Study of Social Insects (IUSSI) 2018 Abstract Cleptobiosis in social insects refers to a relationship in which members of a species rob food resources, or other valuable items, from members of the same or a different species. Here, we report and document in field videos the first case of clepto- biosis in fungus-growing ants (Atta group) from a coastal, Brazilian Atlantic rainforest. Workers of Mycetarotes parallelus roam near the nest and foraging paths of Mycetophylax morschi and attack loaded returning foragers of M. morschi, from which they rob cultivating material for the fungus garden. Typically, a robbing Mycetarotes stops a loaded returning Myce- tophylax, vigorously pulls away the fecal item from the forager’s mandibles, and brings the robbed item to its nearby nest. In our observations, all robbed items consisted of arthropod feces, the most common culturing material used by M. parallelus. Robbing behavior is considered a form of interference action to obtain essential resources needed by ant colonies to cultivate the symbiont fungus. Cleptobiosis between fungus-growing ants may increase colony contamination, affect foraging and intracolonial behavior, as well as associated microbiota, with possible effects on the symbiont fungus. The long-term effects of this unusual behavior, and associated costs and benefits for the species involved, clearly deserve further investigation.

  • Warfare in an Evolutionary Perspective
    Received: 26 November 2018 Revised: 7 May 2019 Accepted: 18 September 2019 DOI: 10.1002/evan.21806 REVIEW ARTICLE Warfare in an evolutionary perspective Bonaventura Majolo School of Psychology, University of Lincoln, Sarah Swift Building, Lincoln, UK Abstract The importance of warfare for human evolution is hotly debated in anthropology. Correspondence Bonaventura Majolo, School of Psychology, Some authors hypothesize that warfare emerged at least 200,000–100,000 years BP, University of Lincoln, Sarah Swift Building, was frequent, and significantly shaped human social evolution. Other authors claim Brayford Wharf East, Lincoln LN5 7AT, UK. Email: [email protected] that warfare is a recent phenomenon, linked to the emergence of agriculture, and mostly explained by cultural rather than evolutionary forces. Here I highlight and crit- ically evaluate six controversial points on the evolutionary bases of warfare. I argue that cultural and evolutionary explanations on the emergence of warfare are not alternative but analyze biological diversity at two distinct levels. An evolved propen- sity to act aggressively toward outgroup individuals may emerge irrespective of whether warfare appeared early/late during human evolution. Finally, I argue that lethal violence and aggression toward outgroup individuals are two linked but distinct phenomena, and that war and peace are complementary and should not always be treated as two mutually exclusive behavioral responses. KEYWORDS aggression, competition, conflict, cooperation, peace, social evolution, violence, war 1 | INTRODUCTION and others on the importance of organized/cooperative actions among members of one social group against members of the opposing The question of whether humans are innately peaceful or aggressive group.5 Clearly, how we define warfare affects how deep we can go has fascinated scientists and philosophers for centuries.1,2 Wars, eth- back in time in human evolution to investigate its emergence and evo- nic or religious contests, and intra-group or intra-family violence are lutionary bases.

Advances in ant systematics (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): homage to E. O. Wilson – 50 years of contributions. Memoirs of the American Entomological Institute, 80. THE FUNGUS-GROWING ANT GENUS APTEROSTIGMA IN DOMINICAN AMBER Ted R. Schultz Department of Entomology, MRC 188, P.O. Box 37012 National Museum of Natural History Smithsonian Institution Washington, DC 20013-7012, U.S.A. [email protected] ABSTRACT The first fossil species of the fungus-growing ant genus Apterostigma (Myrmicinae: Attini) are described from Dominican amber. Two new species are described, and the likely placement of each within the genus is discussed. The phylogenetic position of Apterostigma within the Attini is summarized, as is the evolutionary history of the transition from the cultivation of leucocoprineaceous fungi (the ancestral condition) to the cultivation of pterulaceous fungi (the derived condition) by different lineages of Apterostigma species. I conclude by speculating on the possible implications of the fossil species for understanding this transition, which is unique within the fungus-growing ants. Key words: Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Attini, Apterostigma, fungus-growing ants, fossils, Dominican amber. 426 Memoirs of the American Entomological Institute, Volume 80 INTRODUCTION Fungus-growing ants in the tribe Attini are one of only a few animal groups that practice true agriculture. Because, so far as is known, this fungicultural life-history strategy is entirely unique in ants and, because it parallels human agriculture in many remarkable ways (Schultz et al., 2005), the origin and evolution of the fungus-growing behavior has been the subject of recent intensive study (e.g., Chapela et al., 1994; Hinkle et al., 1994; Schultz & Meier, 1995; Wetterer et al., 1998; Mueller et al., 1998; Mueller et al., 2001).
