• Frequent Queen Replacement and Presence of Unrelated Queens in Colonies of a Functionally Monogynous Ant Species
  Marion Cordonnier, Lena Bachl, Nicolas Thiercelin, Andreas Trindl, Jürgen Heinze, Abel Bernadou

  In eusocial insects, social parasitism—the exploitation of the host's brood care behavior for survival and reproduction—can occur either within or between species. Parasitic queens invade host nests and aggressively replace the resident queen. While the adoption of conspecific queens is a common fea…

• Economic costs of invasive non-native species in urban areas: An underexplored financial drain
  Gustavo Heringer, Romina D Fernandez, Alok Bang, Marion Cordonnier, Ana Novoa, Bernd Lenzner, César Capinha, D Renault, David A Roiz, Desika Moodley, Elena Tricarico, Kathrin Holenstein, Melina Kourantidou, Natalia Kirichenko, José Ricardo Pires Adelino, Romina D Dimarco, Thomas W. Bodey, Yuya Watari, Franck Courchamp

  Urbanization is an important driver of global change associated with a set of environmental modifications that affect the introduction and distribution of invasive non-native species (species with populations transported by humans beyond their natural biogeographic range that established and are spr…

• Pet cat personality linked to owner‐reported predation frequency
  Marion Cordonnier, Amira Perrot, Nicolas Ferry, Elsa Bonnaud, Emmanuelle Baudry

  The domestic cat, Felis catus, is one of the most popular and widespread domestic animals. Because domestic cats can reach high population densities and retain at least some tendency to hunt, their overall impact on wildlife can be severe. Domestic cats have highly variable predation rates depending…

• The impact of high temperatures on bird responses to alarm calls
  Marion Cordonnier, Amanda Ridley, Thierry Lengagne, Mylène Dutour

  Given the current pace of climate change, high temperature events will become increasingly frequent in many parts of the world. Predicting how high temperatures will impact the behavior of songbirds-highly sensitive to temperature change due to their tendency to have small size, high metabolic rate …

• Drivers of predation by pet cats: environment overcomes predator’s intrinsic characteristics
  Marion Cordonnier, Nicolas Ferry, Estelle Renaud, Anne-Claire Maurice, Elsa Bonnaud, Emmanuelle Baudry

  The domestic cat (Felis catus) is one of the most abundant predators and a serious threat to many wildlife species. While a large body of literature explores the number and diversity of individuals depredated by pet cats, the drivers of predation have been investigated much less. Although the enviro…

• Discrimination of conspecifics from heterospecifics in a hybrid zone: behavioural and chemical cues in ants
  Marion Cordonnier, Bernard Kaufmann, Laurent Simon, Gilles Escarguel, Nathalie Mondy

  Species and nestmate recognition in social insects occurs mostly through cutic-ular hydrocarbons acting as chemical cues. These compounds generate a colony-specificodor profile depending on genetic and environmental factors. Species and nestmate recog-nition results in specific behavioral responses,…

• Absence of genetic isolation across highly fragmented landscape in the ant Temnothorax nigriceps
  Marion Cordonnier, Dominik Felten, Andreas Trindl, Jürgen Heinze, Abel Bernadou

  Abstract Background Human activities, including changes in agricultural landscapes, often impact biodiversity through habitat fragmentation. This potentially reduces genetic exchange between previously connected populations. Using a combination of nuclear and mitochondrial markers, we investigated (…

• Economic costs of invasive alien ants worldwide
  Elena Angulo, Benjamin D. Hoffmann, Liliana Ballesteros-Mejia, Ahmed Taheri, Paride Balzani, Alok Bang, David Renault, Marion Cordonnier, Céline Bellard, Christophe Diagne, Danish A. Ahmed, Yuya Watari, Franck Courchamp

  Invasive ants are amongst the most destructive and widespread invaders across the globe; they can strongly alter invaded ecosystems and are responsible for the loss of native ant species. Several studies have reported that invasive ants can also lead to substantial economic costs. In this study, we …

• The Native Ant Lasius niger Can Limit the Access to Resources of the Invasive Argentine Ant
  Marion Cordonnier, Olivier Blight, Elena Angulo, Franck Courchamp

  Within ant communities, the biotic resistance of native species against invasive ones is expected to be rare, because invasive species are often highly dominant competitors. The invasive Argentine ant (Linepithema humile (Mayr)) often demonstrated numerical dominance against its opponents, increased…

• Heterogeneity of water physico-chemical characteristics in artificially pumped waterholes: do African herbivores drink at the same locations and does it lead to interference competition?
  Nicolas Ferry, Marion Cordonnier, Florence Hulot, Farisayi Dakwa, Lovelater Sebele, Stéphane Dray, Hervé Fritz, Marion Valeix

  In many semi-arid savanna ecosystems, surface water is scarce and only found in artificially pumped waterholes at the end of the dry season, leading to high large mammal densities and competition. Further, the modification of the physico-chemical characteristics of the drinking water over the dry se…

• Seasonal variation in mobbing behaviour of passerine birds
  Mylène Dutour, Marion Cordonnier, Jean-Paul Léna, Thierry Lengagne

  When they detect a predator, many birds exhibit mobbing behaviour and produce mobbing calls that quickly draw other prey against the predator. This anti-predator strategy often involves several species and, therefore, implies heterospecific communication. As fledging and nestling stages could be par…

• Range limits in sympatric cryptic species: a case study in Tetramorium pavement ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) across a biogeographical boundary
  Marion Cordonnier, Arnaud Bellec, Adeline Dumet, Gilles Escarguel, Bernard Kaufmann

  1. In the context of climate changes, factors that determine the distri- bution patterns of European species of the ubiquitous ant genus Tetramorium were investigated. 2. The study took place along a steep North-South climatic gradient across the boundary between the European Continental and Mediter…
