Ectatomma Gracile
''Ectatomma'' is a Neotropical genus of ant Ants are eusocial insects of the family Formicidae and, along with the related wasps and bees, belong to the order Hymenoptera. Ants evolved from vespoid wasp ancestors in the Cretaceous period. More than 13,800 of an estimated total of 22 ...s in the subfamily Ectatomminae. The genus contains 17 described extant species and one extinct species. Distribution and habitat ''Ectatomma'' is one of the most common genera in the Neotropical region, with most species being South American in their distribution, but others can be found in Central America as well as sparse populations in the Caribbean. ''Ecatomma'' may be found in rainforests, savannas, dry environments and cultivated areas.

Type Species
In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen(s). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name that has that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have such types.

Savanna
A savanna or savannah is a mixed woodland-grassland (i.e. grassy woodland) ecosystem characterised by the trees being sufficiently widely spaced so that the canopy does not close. The open canopy allows sufficient light to reach the ground to support an unbroken herbaceous layer consisting primarily of grasses. According to '' Britannica'', there exists four savanna forms; ''savanna woodland'' where trees and shrubs form a light canopy, ''tree savanna'' with scattered trees and shrubs, ''shrub savanna'' with distributed shrubs, and ''grass savanna'' where trees and shrubs are mostly nonexistent.Smith, Jeremy M.B.. "savanna". Encyclopedia Britannica, 5 Sep. 2016, https://www.britannica.com/science/savanna/Environment. Accessed 17 September 2022. Savannas maintain an open canopy despite a high tree density. It is often believed that savannas feature widely spaced, scattered trees. However, in many savannas, tree densities are higher and trees are more regularly spaced than in for ...

Ectatomma Parasiticum
''Ectatomma parasiticum'' is a species of ant in the subfamily Ectatomminae. Known from Mexico, the species is a social parasite of the related species ''Ectatomma tuberculatum''. It is the only parasitic species described in the Ectatomminae subfamily, and among the rare inquilines from the tropics. Parasitism ''Ectatomma parasiticum'' shares several life-history traits with other workerless inquiline ants: rarity, local distribution, variation in abundance, limited dispersal, intracolonial mating, queen miniaturization, morphological similarity with its host A host is a person responsible for guests at an event or for providing hospitality during it. Host may also refer to: Places * Host, Pennsylvania, a village in Berks County People *Jim Host (born 1937), American businessman * Michel Host ..., and quasiexclusive production of sexuals. Some of these parasitic traits, the polygynous population of the host, and the association between sibling species are arguments ...

Ectatomma Opaciventre
''Ectatomma opaciventre'' is a South American species of ant from the subfamily Ectatomminae. In the Brazilian savannah, nests occur at low density and in specific microhabitats. Basic biology ''E. opaciventre'' is polydomous. Nests are excavated in soil and can be up be up to 68 cm deep, and comprise multiple sub-chambers. Foraging ecology The foraging ecology of ''E. opaciventre'' has been studies in detail. Workers forage diurnally, scavenging and predating live arthropods (primarily leaf cutter ants and termites). Opportunistically consuming dead and alive animal protein is typical of ''Ectatomma''. However, ''E. opaciventre'' has the least diverse diet of studied ants from the genus, and unlike others, does not collect liquid food. They forage individually, and show individual-level spatial fidelity in foraging habits ('path fidelity'). Behavior Temporal polyethism ''E. opaciventre'' exhibits temporal polyethism, with young workers performing more brood care and all ...
