They constitute a conspicuous part of the terrestrial animal biomass and are also considered common ecosystem engineers. Due to their key role in natural habitats, they are at the basis of any nature conservation policy. Thus, the first step in developing adequate conservation and management policies is to build a precise faunistic inventory. More than 16,000 valid ant species are registered worldwide, of which 126 are known to occur in Hungary. Thanks to the last decade’s efforts in the Hungarian myrmecological research, and because of the constantly changing taxonomy of several problematic ant genera, a new checklist of the Hungarian ants is presented here. The state of the Hungarian myrmecofauna is also discussed in the context of other European countries’ ant fauna. Six species (Formica lemani, Lasius nitidigaster, Tetramorium immigrans, T. staerckei, T. indocile and Temnothorax turcicus) have been reported for the first time in the Hungarian literature, nine taxon names were changed after systematic replacements, nomenclatorial act, or as a result of splitting formerly considered continuous populations into more taxa. Two species formerly believed to occur in Hungary are now excluded from the updated list. All names are nomenclaturally assessed, and complete synonymies applied in the Hungarian literature for a certain taxon are provided. Wherever it is not self-evident, comments are added, especially to explain replacements of taxon names. Finally, we present a brief descriptive comparison of the Hungarian myrmecofauna with the ant fauna of the surrounding countries. The current dataset is a result of ongoing work on inventorying the Hungarian ant fauna, therefore it is expected to change over time and will be updated once the ongoing taxonomic projects are completed.}, keywords = {Europe; Checklist; faunistics; ANTS; biogeography}, year = {2021}, eissn = {2075-4450}, orcid-numbers = {Lőrinczi, Gábor/0000-0001-5384-7246; Maák, István Elek/0000-0002-0999-4916; Tartally, András/0000-0002-3284-8239} } @article{MTMT:31788868, title = {Inside Pandora's box: Development of the lethal myrmecopathogenic fungus Pandora formicae within its ant host}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31788868}, author = {Csata, Enikő and Billen, Johan and Barbu-Tudoran, Lucian and Markó, Bálint}, doi = {10.1016/j.funeco.2020.101022}, journal-iso = {FUNGAL ECOL}, journal = {FUNGAL ECOLOGY}, volume = {50}, unique-id = {31788868}, issn = {1754-5048}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1878-0083}, pages = {101022-101029} } @article{MTMT:31380401, title = {Living on the Edge: Changes in the Foraging Strategy of a Territorial Ant Species Occurring with a Rival Supercolony – a Case Study}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31380401}, author = {Maák, István Elek and Czekes, Zsolt and Erős, Katalin and Pálfi, Zsófia and Markó, Bálint}, doi = {10.1007/s10905-020-09745-x}, journal-iso = {J INSECT BEHAV}, journal = {JOURNAL OF INSECT BEHAVIOR}, volume = {33}, unique-id = {31380401}, issn = {0892-7553}, abstract = {Territorial strategy in animals is characterized by the monopoly of resources inside a protected area, the territory. The presence of territorial species considerably alters the behavior of co-occurring submissives, as it is known in several submissive ant species living on the territories of red wood ants in temperate regions. On the other hand, as a rule, territorial species cannot share the same territory and usually exclude each other. However, this 'rule' is inferred from the almost complete lack of data on the coexistence of rival territorials, and not from observations regarding the effective exclusion or behavioral inhibition of one territorial species by other. In the frame of this study, we investigated the foraging strategy of the territorial red wood antFormica pratensisthat occurred inside a large polydomous system of another territorial ant species,F. exsecta.Formica pratensiscolonies outside the supercolony served as control. Within theF. exsectasupercolony,F. pratensisshowed the characteristics of a subordinate species characterized by low discovery and exploitation success of artificial food sources. On the contrary, control colonies outside the polydomous system clearly behaved like typical territorials as they successfully monopolized the majority of the baits. In addition, submissive species were more successful around theF. pratensisnests within the supercolony, than outside of it. As suggested by our results, territorial species could co-occur with other territorials given certain plasticity in their behavior and small colony size. Nevertheless, exclusion also happens as proven by our field observations.}, year = {2020}, eissn = {1572-8889}, pages = {59-68}, orcid-numbers = {Maák, István Elek/0000-0002-0999-4916} } @misc{MTMT:31152067, title = {Phylogenetic analyses of the proteins involved in encapsulation signaling pathways in ants}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31152067}, author = {Orbán-Bakk, Kincső and Markó, Bálint and Kósa, Ferencz}, unique-id = {31152067}, year = {2019} } @article{MTMT:3038665, title = {Distribution of the myrmecoparasitic fungus Rickia wasmannii (Ascomycota: Laboulbeniales) across colonies, individuals, and body parts of Myrmica scabrinodis}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3038665}, author = {Markó, Bálint and Csata, Enikő and Erős, K and Német, Enikő and Czekes, Zsolt and Rózsa, Lajos}, doi = {10.1016/j.jip.2016.03.008}, journal-iso = {J INVERTEBR PATHOL}, journal = {JOURNAL OF INVERTEBRATE PATHOLOGY}, volume = {136}, unique-id = {3038665}, issn = {0022-2011}, keywords = {PREVALENCE; Parasitism; ANTS; LABOULBENIALES; Infection intensity; Body part specificity}, year = {2016}, eissn = {1096-0805}, pages = {74-80}, orcid-numbers = {Czekes, Zsolt/0000-0002-5615-5883; Rózsa, Lajos/0000-0002-9470-0934} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:2904756, title = {Could fungal infection make ant societies more open?}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2904756}, author = {Magdalena, Witek and Csata, Enikő and Natalia, Timuș and Hanna, Babik and László, Rákosy and Markó, Bálint}, booktitle = {The 4th Central European Section Meeting of the International Union for the Study of Social Insects}, unique-id = {2904756}, year = {2015}, pages = {14-14} } @book{MTMT:2857792, title = {Nem-territoriális hangyafajok (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) táplálkozási stratégiájának plasztikus jellege}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2857792}, isbn = {9789735956356}, author = {Markó, Bálint}, publisher = {Cluj University Press; Kolozsvári Egyetemi Kiadó}, unique-id = {2857792}, year = {2014} }
