Leptothorax Scamni
''Leptothorax'' is a genus of small ants with mainly Holarctic distributions. The genus is notable for its widespread social parasitism, i.e. they are dependent on the help of workers from other ant species during a part or the whole of their life cycles. Closely related genera are ''Cardiocondyla'', '' Stereomyrmex'' and '' Romblonella''.

Leptothorax Acervorum
''Leptothorax acervorum'' is a small brown to yellow ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae. It was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1793. ''L. acervorum'' is vastly distributed across the globe, most commonly found in the coniferous forests of Central, Western and Northern Europe. The morphology of ''L. acervorum'' is extremely similar to that of other '' Leptothorax'' ants. The difference arises in the two-toned appearance of ''L. acervorum'', with the head and metasoma being darker than the mesosoma segment of the body, and hair across its body. Following Bergmann's rule—unusually, for ectothermic animals—body size increases with latitude. Taxonomy ''Leptothorax acervorum'' was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1793 in his publication ''Entomologia systematica emendata et aucta. Vol 2''. The ant belongs to the family of Formicidae, which include all organisms that contain a metapleural gland. Using DNA analysis, the divergence date estimated for clades ...

Leptothorax Muscorum
''Leptothorax muscorum'' is a species of ant of the genus ''Leptothorax'' that ranges through a variety of habitats throughout much of Europe, northern Asia, and North and Central America, with a particularly wide distribution in the palearctic. Capable of surviving in extreme Arctic-Alpine conditions, the species is perhaps the northernmost dwelling ant indigenous to the Western Hemisphere. Physiology, morphology and taxonomy Several highly similar subspecies of ''L. muscorum'' have been identified, including ''L. m. betulae'', ''L. m. fagi'', ''L. m. flavescens'', ''L. m. gredleri'', ''L. m. nigriceps'', ''L. m. oceanicum'', ''L. m. scamni'', ''L. m. septentrionalis'', ''L. m. sordida'', ''L. m. sordidus'', and ''L. m. uvicensis''."Species: ''Leptothorax muscorum'' - AntWeb."

Ant Genera
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 22,000 species have been classified. They are easily identified by their geniculate (elbowed) antennae and the distinctive node-like structure that forms their slender waists. Ants form colonies that range in size from a few dozen predatory individuals living in small natural cavities to highly organised colonies that may occupy large territories and consist of millions of individuals. Larger colonies consist of various castes of sterile, wingless females, most of which are workers (ergates), as well as soldiers (dinergates) and other specialised groups. Nearly all ant colonies also have some fertile males called "drones" and one or more fertile females called "queens" (gynes). The colonies are described as superorganisms because the ants a ...

Psyche (entomological Journal)
''Psyche'' is a scientific journal of entomology which was established in 1874 by the Cambridge Entomological Club as a "journal for the publication of biological contributions upon Arthropoda from any competent person". The name of the journal is derived from the Ancient Greek word for butterfly. The journal has been published since 1874 (with gaps from 1886 to 1887, 1995 to 1999, and 2000 to 2007). In 2007 the Club transferred the journal to the Hindawi Publishing Corporation, and it became an open-access journal in 2008, with articles distributed online under the Creative Commons Attribution License. Almost all back issues were scanned and are available online as PDF files. History Samuel Hubbard Scudder proposed to start an "Organ of the Cambridge Entomological Club" at its fourth meeting. When ''Psyche'' began publication, its first editor was B. P. Mann. Its articles concentrated on general anatomy, biological entomology, and to set up a Bibliographic Record of all writin ...

Leptothorax Pocahontas
''Leptothorax pocahontas'' (Powhatan: ''pocahontas'' = playful one) is a threatened species of ant endemic to Alberta, Canada,Buschinger, A. 1979. ''Doronomyrmex pocahontas'', n. sp., a parasitic ant from Alberta, Canada (Hym. Formicidae). Ins. Soc. 26: 216-222/ref> facing a high risk of extinction. The total length of a female ant, including the Mandible (insect mouthpart), mandibles is 4 mm. The chromosome number of the species is n = 18. The species is known only from its type locality,Buschinger, A. and J. Heinze. 1993. ''Doronomyrmex pocahontas'': not a workerless parasite but still an enigmatic taxon (Hymenoptera, Formicidae). ''Ins. Soc.'' 40: 423-432 Maligne Canyon, near Jasper, Alberta, Canada. It closely resembles the workerless European species, '' Leptothorax pacis'', and having believed to be also lacking a worker caste when it was first described in 1979, was placed in the same genus (at the time, genus ''Doronomyrmex''). The queen is highly polymorphic, d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
