Drought-induced relocation of ant colonies and its consequences for the long-term spatial ecology of a population under stress

Terry J. Ord

Summary: Maintaining a central refuge such as a nest or burrow can provide protection but limit the ability to disperse. Long-lived ant colonies that build large nests are susceptible to changing environmental conditions. The Australian meat ant population exhibited a surge in nest production during drought, allowing colonies to relocate to more favorable areas. This strategy may be important for central place foragers to track preferred conditions in the face of climate change.

The response of ants to climate change

Catherine L. Parr et al.

Summary: Ants are one of the most dominant terrestrial organisms globally and their response to climate change is a complex issue. Ant populations and communities may be affected by temperature changes, but species in temperate regions and those able to buffer temperature may not be impacted or could even benefit. The response of ants to other abiotic drivers associated with climate change is largely unknown, as is the impact of altered ant populations and communities on wider ecological networks. The social behavior of ants may allow them to adapt to or tolerate climate change in ways that solitary organisms cannot.

Ecological lags govern the pace and outcome of plant community responses to 21st-century climate change

Sebastian Block et al.

Summary: Studying the transplanting of alpine grassland species to lower elevations, we found that shifts in community structure following abrupt climate change were not simply accelerated versions of shifts expected under gradual warming. Time lags played an important role in controlling the pace and trajectory of changing species' abundances.

Challenges and opportunities of species distribution modelling of terrestrial arthropod predators

Stefano Mammola et al.

Summary: Species distribution models are essential tools for ecologists to explore species distributions and answer questions related to biogeography, climate change, and conservation biology. Most studies focused on well-known organisms or charismatic and economically important arthropod species, with limited research on terrestrial arthropod predators. The use of SDMs in mapping the geography of arthropod predators is still in a nascent stage, with potential for future research using modern data sources and new modeling approaches.

Developmental regulation of stolon and rhizome

Lei Guo et al.

Summary: Stolons and rhizomes are modified stems that facilitate vegetative reproduction by maintaining hybrid genotypes. In stolon development, gibberellins and MADS box genes promote formation while the DELLA repressor inhibits it. Photoperiod plays a role in regulating stolon formation by controlling GA biosynthesis or balancing asexual and sexual reproduction modes.

Individual-Level Memory Is Sufficient to Create Spatial Segregation among Neighboring Colonies of Central Place Foragers

Geert Aarts et al.

Summary: Central place foragers with spatial cognitive abilities can exhibit spatial segregation based on individual-level memory of resource availability. The fidelity of foragers to their colonies and commuting costs can lead to partitioning with equidistant borders between neighboring colonies. Strong colony fidelity may create regional imbalances between resource requirements and availability, resulting in nontrivial space-use patterns.

Behavioral Strategies and the Spatial Pattern Formation of Nesting

Femke Batsleer et al.

Summary: This study simulated the spatial organization of nest building in a gregarious digger wasp and found that both environmental suitability and behavioral mechanisms play a role in nest aggregation. Models with individual differences in behavior yielded the best fit to field data, demonstrating the complex processes underlying nest aggregation in nature.

Multiyear drought exacerbates long-term effects of climate on an invasive ant species

Lisa I. Couper et al.

Summary: The study found that climate factors have the strongest impact on the distribution of the Argentine ant, while the distribution of native ant species expanded after an extreme drought. Therefore, climate change may limit the spread of the Argentine ant and its impact in invaded regions.
