myrmecophilous การใช้

• Myrmecophilous associations are best known in butterflies of the family Lycaenidae.
• He placed it under the existing myrmecophilous genus " Sphaeroseius ".
• They have also been recorded to be myrmecophilous.
• Although most caterpillars are herbivorous, a few species are myrmecophilous, eating ant larvae.
• It resembles the species " myrmecophilous.
• Some species of hoverfly are myrmecophilous, their young live and grow within the nests of ants.
• The logo of the club features the myrmecophilous species that used to be found in the reserve.
• Some mites and spiders are also myrmecophilous, particularly some oribatid mites, which have been found to be obligate myrmecophiles.
• The larvae have tentacular organs as seen on myrmecophilous lycaenids, but they have not been observed to be tended by ants.
• For newly emerged adults of most myrmecophilous Lycaenidae, deciduous waxy scales provide some protection from predators as they emerge from the nest.
• Generally, Lycaenidae species which have a myrmecophilous relationship with the ant genus " Myrmica " are locked to primary host specificity.
• Young adults of myrmecophilous Lepidoptera escape from ant's nests by virtue of the deciduous waxy scales with which they are covered when born.
• Links between ants and myrmecophilous species ( " Euphorbia marschalliana, Oligochaeta divaricata, Ziziphora tenuior, Z . persica ", etc . ) are not yet fully understood.
• The caterpillars are usually longer than those of the Lycaenidae except in the myrmecophilous species . Pupae are hairy and attached with silk to either the host plant or to ground debris or leaf litter.
• Most associations are facultative, benefiting one or both participants but not being necessary to their survival, but many myrmecophilous relationships are obligate, meaning one or the other participant requires the relationship for survival.
• Vibrations can also be used to communicate between entirely different species; lycaenid ( gossamer-winged butterfly ) caterpillars which are myrmecophilous ( living in a mutualistic association with ants ) communicate with ants in this way.
• On Culver Down a number of unusual ant species live, including the semi-myrmecophilous " Solenopsis fugax " ( Latr . ), a thief ant which was recorded there several times by Horace Donisthorpe.
• There is evidence that the evolution of myrmecophilous interactions has contributed to the abundance and ecological success of ants, by ensuring a dependable and energy-rich food supply and thus providing a competitive advantage for ants over other invertebrate predators.
• Workers and larvae can be infected by parasites; examined workers were seen with late-stage pupae of an unidentified parasite in their myrmecophilous insects such as the beetle " Chlamydopsis longipes " are sometimes seen living inside colonies.
• Most myrmecophilous associations are opportunistic, unspecialized, and facultative ( meaning both species are capable of surviving without the interaction ), though obligate mutualisms ( those in which one or both species are dependent on the interaction for survival ) have also been observed for many species.
