Book excerpt: "Abstract: This paper provides a taxonomic revision of the Neotropical ant genus Hylomyrma Forel (1912) (Myrmicinae: Pogonomyrmecini). Morphological traits combined with geographical data and natural history information led to the recognition of 30 species, fourteen of them described here as new: Hylomyrma adelae sp. n., Hylomyrma dandarae sp. n., Hylomyrma jeronimae sp. n., Hylomyrma lispectorae sp. n., Hylomyrma lopesi sp. n., Hylomyrma macielae sp. n., Hylomyrma margaridae sp. n., Hylomyrma mariae sp. n., Hylomyrma marielleae sp. n., Hylomyrma mitiae sp. n., Hylomyrma peetersi sp. n., Hylomyrma primavesi sp. n., Hylomyrma virginiae sp. n. and Hylomyrma wachiperi sp. n. Lectotypes for H. speciosa (junior synonym of H. balzani) and H. reitteri are here designated from syntypes to improve nomenclatural stability. Except for the three species most recently described (H. montana, H. plumosa, and H. villemantae), the external morphology of workers is described or redescribed, as well as for the known males and queens, most described here for the first time. Of the 30 recognized species herein, 11 present intercastes; at least three of them present female specimens with queen-like traits that may be understood as ergatoids. An updated identification key for Hylomyrma workers is provided, as well as high resolution photographs of all known sexes and castes, species distribution maps, and a summary of what is known from the biology of all species. Keywords: Taxonomy, Intercaste, Morphology, Pogonomyrmecini"--Page 3.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxyopomyrmex André, 1881 is a small genus of myrmicine ants found in arid grasslands of the Mediterranean region. Here we provide a new taxonomic revision of the genus. Twelve species are recognized, including five new to science: O. laevibus sp. nov. (Greece: Crete), O. magnus sp. nov. (Spain), O. negevensis sp. nov. (Israel) O. polybotesi sp. nov. (Greece: Nisyros, W Turkey) and O. pygmalioni sp. nov. (Cyprus). Oxyopomyrmex santschii var. nigripes Santschi, 1907 and O. santschii var. nitidior Santschi, 1910 are raised to species level. The following new synonymies are proposed: O.krueperi Forel, 1911 = O. lagoi Menozzi, 1936 syn. nov.; O. nigripes Santschi, 1907 = O. sabulonis var. rugocciputSantschi, 1923 syn. nov. = O. emeryi var. brunnescens Santschi, 1929 syn. nov.; O. nitidior Santschi, 1910 = O. emeryivar. laticeps Santschi, 1915 syn. nov. = O. emeryi st. sabulonis Santschi, 1915 syn. nov.; O. saulcyi Emery, 1889 = O.santschii Forel, 1904 syn. nov. = O. santschii var. siciliana Karavaiev, 1912 syn. nov. = O. gaetulus Santschi, 1929 syn. nov. = O. saulcyi var. latinodis Santschi, 1939 syn. nov. A neotype for O. oculatus André, 1881 is designated. An identification key based on the gyne, male and worker caste is provided.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nylanderia (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is a genus in the Prenolepis genus-group of formicine ants. They are distinguished from other formicine genera by the presence of six (rarely seven) mandibular teeth, paired macrosetae on the head and mesosoma, and a global distribution. Over 130 species have been described, 13 of which are from the Nearctic region, which includes Canada, the United States, and areas of northern and central Mexico. Two species are newly described from the Nearctic region: N. querna and N. trageri, both from the central United States. All castes of each taxon are accompanied by images and known distribution maps. Updated keys for both workers and males include these new taxa. Worker morphology is frequently convergent and male features have proven effective in distinguishing species, and special attention is focused on the male caste. It is not unlikely that further analysis of widespread species would indicate cryptic complexes. Discussion follows on discovery of new species, biogeography, and social parasitism in the clade.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the taxonomy, phylogeny and biogeographic history of the cryptic, leaf-litter ant genus Stenamma (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Myrmicinae), with an emphasis on the species that occupy the Neotropical region. Prior to this work Stenamma was considered to be a primarily Holarctic lineage, but it is demonstrated here that the genus has undergone a significant radiation in Middle America, one that rivals the Holarctic fauna in species richness, as well as morphological and behavioral diversity. Chapter One is a global redefinition of Stenamma, in which a new diagnosis to the worker caste is presented, following the removal of several species from the genus based on morphological and molecular evidence. The distribution of Stenamma is reassessed to include only the Holarctic region, Middle America and northern South America. Chapter Two examines the broad-scale phylogeny and biogeography of Stenamma. A ten-gene (~8 kb of data) molecular dataset is constructed to infer the relationships among 48 exemplar Stenamma taxa and eight outgroup species. It is discovered that Stenamma is monophyletic and contains two major clades, a "Holarctic clade" (HOC) and "Middle America clade" (MAC). Biogeographic analysis further reveals that Stenamma most likely originated in the Nearctic region at the Eocene-Oligocene boundary (~35 million years ago) and diversified more rapidly at 16 and 8 Ma for the MAC and HOC, respectively. Potential factors affecting Stenamma evolution are hypothesized to be the global cooling of the late Eocene combined with aridification and mountain building. Chapter Three is a species-level revision of the Middle America clade of Stenamma. This work reviews 40 species, of which 33 are described as new, and it separates them into 11 clades based mainly on molecular data. In addition to species descriptions, the taxonomic treatment includes a key to workers, images of all castes and a review of accumulated natural history observations. Chapter Four investigates the phylogeny, biogeography and ecology of Middle American clade Stenamma species in more detail. In total 37 of the 40 recognized MAC Stenamma species are included in phylogenetic analyses with a nine-gene dataset. Eleven major clades within the MAC are identified, and it is discovered that MAC Stenamma originated in Mexico north of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec about 28 Ma, and later dispersed to Nuclear Central America and southern Central America. Nuclear Central America is found to be an important center of diversification for Stenamma, and analysis of quantitative data confirm the observation that, in contrast to ants generally, Stenamma reaches a peak in diversity and abundance at high elevations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses in detail molecular, mycobiont culture, biomonitoring and bioprospection of lichens, providing insights into advances in different fields of lichenology by applying modern techniques and approaches and examining how their application has enhanced or changed classical approaches. It offers a valuable resource, especially for beginners, students and researchers from different academic backgrounds interested in the study of lichens. In recent years, the introduction of modern analytical techniques and approaches has significantly improved our understanding of the environment, including lichens. Lichens are unique organisms which possess untapped potential as effective and reliable bioindicators, sources of therapeutic phytochemicals, and as excellent extremophiles. The unique and peculiar characteristics of lichens underline the need for a multidimensional approach to explore their potential in various fields of environment science, botany and chemistry. Modern techniques, especially molecular techniques, have greatly enriched the field of lichen taxonomy and its position in the plant kingdom, revealing little-known species and exploring their evolutionary history, while multivariate analysis and GIS approaches have established lichens as an ideal and reliable tool for monitoring air pollution. Advanced culture techniques have expanded the pharmacological applications of lichens, which was formerly restricted due to their small biomass. The advent of sophisticated analytical instrumentation has now facilitated the isolation and characterization of lichens’ bioactive constituents, even in lower concentrations, as well as the estimation of their stress responses at different levels of pollution. As lichen diversity is adversely affected by increasing air pollution, there is a pressing need to develop effective management practices to conserve, restore and document lichen diversity.
