We studied the diversity of this species by employing a multidisciplinary approach and combining data from our surveys, museum and private collections, and citizen science platforms. As a result, we have revealed the existence of a second species, which we describe as Colobopsis imitans sp. nov., distributed allopatrically from Co. truncata and living in the Maghreb, Sicily and southern Iberia. While the pigmentation of Co. truncata is reminiscent of Dolichoderus quadripunctatus, that of Co. imitans is similar to Crematogaster scutellaris, with which Co. imitans lives in close spatial association, and whose foraging trails it habitually follows, similar to Camponotus lateralis and other ant-mimicking ants. The isolation between Co. imitans and Co. truncata seems to have occurred relatively recently because of significant, yet not extreme, morphometric differentiation, and to mtDNA polyphyly. Both Co. imitans and Co. truncata appear to employ mimicry of an unpalatable or aggressive ant species as an important defensive strategy; this ‘choice’ of a different model species is motivated by biogeographic reasons and appears to act as a critical evolutionary driver of their diversification.}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1096-3642}, pages = {1424-1450}, orcid-numbers = {Giannetti, Daniele/0000-0003-1622-1329; Castellucci, Filippo/0000-0002-9944-2196; Luchetti, Andrea/0000-0002-2986-721X; Castracani, Cristina/0000-0001-8802-9614; Spotti, Fiorenza A/0000-0002-4270-7229; Mori, Alessandra/0000-0001-6544-3038} } @article{MTMT:32282655, title = {Functional plasticity of carabids can presume better the changes in community composition than taxon‐based descriptors}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32282655}, author = {Elek, Zoltán and Růžičková, Jana and Ódor, Péter}, doi = {10.1002/eap.2460}, journal-iso = {ECOL APPL}, journal = {ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS}, volume = {32}, unique-id = {32282655}, issn = {1051-0761}, abstract = {Although the functional trait approach can facilitate the understanding of mechanisms that underline community responses to habitat alteration, only a few studies used this way on exploring the structure of insect assemblages compared to taxon‐based analyses. We compared the descriptive power of medium‐term effects (2014–2018) of forestry treatments in a temperate managed oak‐dominated forest on taxon‐ vs. trait‐based descriptors of ground beetle assemblages. The treatments included rotation forestry (partial preparation cutting, clear‐cutting, retention‐tree group, and mature closed forest as control) and continuous cover forestry (gap cutting) operations. The species composition was only slightly influenced by the treatments; on the ordination biplot, the control, retention tree group, and clear‐cutting treatments formed relatively homogeneous groups, well separated from each other, while the others were scattered randomly in the ordination space. Over time, the species richness decreased in all treatments, but it was higher in the retention tree group treatment than in others in 2016 and 2017. The activity density also declined between years, but an immediate mass effect was revealed after the implementation of treatment types especially in the control, gap, and preparation cuts. We found that assemblages in the clear‐cutting and retention‐tree group had similar characteristics: high functional diversity; more open‐habitat, generalist, and omnivore species and fewer carnivore species; while those in the control, gap, and preparation cutting groups had the opposite: lower functional diversity, more forest species, and more carnivorous species. Our findings will demonstrate that the simultaneous use of the two approaches will allow the most articulate understanding of the status of ground beetles assemblages in managed forests.}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1939-5582}, orcid-numbers = {Elek, Zoltán/0000-0001-6026-6300; Růžičková, Jana/0000-0001-9703-4538; Ódor, Péter/0000-0003-1729-8897} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:32634528, title = {Az erdőgazdálkodás erdei biodiverzitásra gyakorolt hatása, különböző élőlénycsoportok esetében}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32634528}, author = {Ódor, Péter and Aszalós, Réka and Boros, Gergely and Elek, Zoltán and Geml, József and Horváth, Csenge Veronika and Kovács, Bence and Kutszegi, Gergely and Németh, Csaba and Samu, Ferenc and Tinya, Flóra}, booktitle = {Erdészeti Tudományos Konferencia, Sopron, 2022. február 10., Kivonatok Kötete}, unique-id = {32634528}, year = {2022}, pages = {52-53}, orcid-numbers = {Ódor, Péter/0000-0003-1729-8897; Geml, József/0000-0001-8745-0423; Kovács, Bence/0000-0002-8045-8489; Tinya, Flóra/0000-0002-4271-9676} } @article{MTMT:32651941, title = {Syntax errors do not disrupt acoustic communication in the common cuckoo}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32651941}, author = {Moskát, Csaba and Hauber, Márk E.}, doi = {10.1038/s41598-022-05661-6}, journal-iso = {SCI REP}, journal = {SCIENTIFIC REPORTS}, volume = {12}, unique-id = {32651941}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2045-2322} } @article{MTMT:32708747, title = {A striking color variation is detected in Ponera testacea Emery, 1895 (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) across its Western Palaearctic geographic range}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32708747}, author = {Csősz, Sándor and Kiran, Kadri and Karaman, Celal and Lapeva-Gjonova, Albena}, doi = {10.3897/zookeys.1084.79415}, journal-iso = {ZOOKEYS}, journal = {ZOOKEYS}, volume = {1084}, unique-id = {32708747}, issn = {1313-2989}, abstract = {In this paper, we provide numeric morphology-based evidence that the dark-colored Ponera coarctata var. lucida Emery, 1898, formerly considered a synonym ofP. coarctata(Latreille, 1802), is conspecific with the lighter-coloredPonera testaceaEmery, 1895. Species hypotheses are developed via NC-PART clustering, combined with Partitioning Algorithm based on Recursive Thresholding (PART), and via PCA combined with gap statistics. We obtained our results from an extensive dataset from the 10 continuous morphometric traits measured on 165 workers belonging to 73 nest samples. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) confirmed the grouping of hypotheses generated by exploratory analyses with 100% classification success when all ten morphometric traits were involved. The Anatolian Turkish black and the predominantly European yellow samples, did not separate based on their morphometric characteristics. These two color variations broadly overlap in their geographic range in Anatolian Turkey. The investigated type series of Ponera coarctata var. lucida Emery, 1898 (collected from Kazakhstan) fell within theP. testaceacluster instead ofP. coarctataand is also classified with high certainty asP. testaceaby confirmatory LDA. Therefore, we propose the synonymy of Ponera coarctata var. lucida Emery, 1898 withPonera testaceaEmery, 1895. As no other morphological differences than color patterns were detected between the “black” and “pale”P. testaceasamples, we hold that these populations constitute geographically occurring color variations of the same species. Finally, our quantitative morphology-based results show that relying on color patterns is not a robust approach in identifying EuropeanPonerasamples, particularly in the east, but using multivariate analyses of morphometric traits is advised instead.}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1313-2970}, pages = {151-164}, orcid-numbers = {Kiran, Kadri/0000-0001-7983-0194; Karaman, Celal/0000-0002-2158-5592; Lapeva-Gjonova, Albena/0000-0003-0811-0768} } @article{MTMT:32792496, title = {Pace of life and mobility as key factors to survive in farmland – Relationships between functional traits of diurnal Lepidoptera and landscape structure}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32792496}, author = {Kőrösi, Ádám and Dolek, Matthias and Nunner, Andreas and Lang, Andreas and Theves, Florian}, doi = {10.1016/j.agee.2022.107978}, journal-iso = {AGR ECOSYST ENVIRON}, journal = {AGRICULTURE ECOSYSTEMS & ENVIRONMENT}, volume = {334}, unique-id = {32792496}, issn = {0167-8809}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1873-2305}, orcid-numbers = {Kőrösi, Ádám/0000-0003-1528-1872} } @article{MTMT:32800106, title = {From Parasitized to Healthy-Looking Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): Morphological Reconstruction Using Algorithmic Processing}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32800106}, author = {Csősz, Sándor and Báthori, Ferenc and Molet, Mathieu and Majoros, Gábor and Rádai, Zoltán}, doi = {10.3390/life12050625}, journal-iso = {LIFE-BASEL}, journal = {LIFE-BASEL}, volume = {12}, unique-id = {32800106}, abstract = {Background: Parasites cause predictable alternative phenotypes of host individuals. Investigating these parasitogenic phenotypes may be essential in cases where parasitism is common or taxa is described based on a parasitized individual. Ignoring them could lead to erroneous conclusions in biodiversity-focused research, taxonomy, evolution, and ecology. However, to date, integrating alternative phenotypes into a set of wild-type individuals in morphometric analysis poses extraordinary challenges to experts. This paper presents an approach for reconstructing the putative healthy morphology of parasitized ants using algorithmic processing. Our concept enables the integration of alternative parasitogenic phenotypes in morphometric analyses. Methods: We tested the applicability of our strategy in a large pool of Cestoda-infected and healthy individuals of three Temnothorax ant species (T. nylanderi, T. sordidulus, and T. unifasciatus). We assessed the stability and convergence of morphological changes caused by parasitism across species. We used an artificial neural network-based multiclass classifier model to predict species based on morphological trait values and the presence of parasite infection. Results: Infection causes predictable morphological changes in each species, although these changes proved to be species-specific. Therefore, integrating alternative parasitogenic phenotypes in morphometric analyses can be achieved at the species level, and a prior species hypothesis is required. Conclusion: Despite the above limitation, the concept is appropriate. Beyond parasitogenic phenotypes, our approach can also integrate morphometric data of an array of alternative phenotypes (subcastes in social insects, alternative morphs in polyphenic species, and alternative sexes in sexually dimorphic species) whose integrability had not been resolved before.}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2075-1729}, orcid-numbers = {Báthori, Ferenc/0000-0001-5452-5257; Molet, Mathieu/0000-0002-1247-8904; Rádai, Zoltán/0000-0001-7011-5055} } @article{MTMT:32847435, title = {Formerly considered rare, the ant species Cryptopone ochracea (Mayr, 1855) can be commonly detected using citizen-science tools}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32847435}, author = {Báthori, Ferenc and Jégh, Tamás and Csősz, Sándor}, doi = {10.3897/BDJ.10.e83117}, journal-iso = {BIODIVERS DATA J}, journal = {BIODIVERSITY DATA JOURNAL}, volume = {10}, unique-id = {32847435}, issn = {1314-2836}, abstract = {Citizen science is a valuable tool for monitoring different species, especially in cases concerning truly rare and difficult-to-detect species where time-consuming field studies are limited and long-term research projects are uncertain.
