Across five Northeastern Minnesota localities from 1974 to 2021 mean September temperature increased 2.70°C, while melanic dorsal color forms decreased significantly in frequency, from 22.1% to 14.2 % in females, and 12.7% to 7.3% in males. The frequency of dark ventral abdominal pleurites decreased in both males and females, and in males the frequency of TYP, the more pigmented of the two local non-melanic color forms, decreased relative to the alternative POP phenotype. In Tinley Park, Illinois, where temperature increased 1.85°C from 1971 to 2021, the frequency of MAR, the only common dark color form, did not change, but the relative frequency of TYP versus POP decreased in both males and females. These results suggest that: 1) northern melanic color forms are maintained by selection for thermal melanism, selection that has relaxed as a result of warming climate; 2) MAR frequencies are determined by other forms of selection, possibly selection for warning coloration; and 3) climate warming may shift the phenotypic balance between TYP and POP toward POP. If these changes are representative of broader geographical areas, the P. spumarius polymorphism may prove to be a useful barometer of climate change.","PeriodicalId":51040,"journal":{"name":"Entomologica Americana","volume":"128 1","pages":"1 - 10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82829688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As scavengers, ants have been observed to remove carrion at rates on par with all non-invertebrate scavengers (Romero et al., 2020), though their role in decomposition ecology remains largely understudied (Eubanks et al., 2019). As predators, ants can be an overlooked source of mortality for many terrestrial vertebrates (McCormick and Polis, 1982; Valdez et al., 2020), especially when their prey is at smaller or lessdefended (Murray et al., 2016; Bichinski, 2015) life stages. Bullet ants (Paraponera clavata Fabricius 1775) are omnivorous, flexible foragers: they are most frequently observed carrying nectar back to their nests, but will also scavenge larger carcasses and actively hunt small prey animals, mostly arthropods (Young and Hermann, 1980; Dyer, 2002; Romero et al., 2020). Paraponera clavata are known to occasionally attack and consume small vertebrates. However, these instances involved carcasses that were scavenged opportunistically (feeder mice, Romero et al., 2020), live animals experimentally presented to foraging ants (frogs, Fritz et al., 1981; Murray et al., 2016), or vertebrate parts being carried back to the nest (‘‘head of a small tree frog,’’ Young & Hermann, 1980). It is therefore unclear whether bullet ants commonly hunt small vertebrates, although Bichinski (2015) reported seeing P. clavata hunt bird nestlings. There is little reason to suppose they do not: many small frogs and lizards are approximately the same size as the ants or some of their invertebrate prey. Additionally, bullet ant venom affects both invertebrates and vertebrates (Johnson et al., 2017), and can be used to subdue or kill small vertebrate prey (Fritz et al., 1981; Murray et al., 2016) as well as defend the ant from larger animals.","PeriodicalId":51040,"journal":{"name":"Entomologica Americana","volume":"17 1","pages":"20 - 23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75231558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
