Species of the Forelian formica group, whose type is the Red or Southern Wood Ant Formica rufa, are generally referred to as the wood ants.
Some species, including Formica rufa, which is common in Southern England, make large visible nests of dry plant stems, leaves, or pine needles, usually based around a rooting stump.

The name ''Formica rufibarbis'' was first given to this ant by Lord Avebury in Britain in his important work ''Ants, Bees and Wasps'' in 1881, although the species had been noted (misidentified as ''F. cunicularia'') by Frederick Smith in 1851.
Invented in 1912 by Daniel J O'Conor and Herbert A. Faber, Formica is a laminate of paper or fabric, manufactured by impregnating the fabric with an adhesive resin at high pressure.
''Formica rufa'' is a boreal member of the Formica rufa group of ants, commonly found throughout southern England in both conferous and broadleaf broken woodland and parkland.

Many of the lesser seen species are at the northern extent of their range in Britain, and for this reason are confined to the south.
These large noticeable species abide in mounds constructed from leaf litter, which are fortunately still a common site in many older forests and broken woodland up and down the country.
Also see List of the common names of British ant species for common names applied to species native to Britain.

rufescens penetrate neighboring ant nests of the genus Formica and kidnap brood.
Workers and queens in the genus Polyergus are completely dependent on slaves as they are unable to feed themselves, care for their brood, or perform colony maintenance (Holldobler and Wilson, 1990).
Facultative slavemakers, such as Formica sanguinea, still possess dentition on the mandibles (Figure 1), and these ants are quite capable of carrying out nest maintenance chores (Holldobler and Wilson, 1990).

Il genere formica in Italia è ben rappresentato, sulle Alpi sono diffuse le diverse specie del gruppo rufa, e, sia sulle Alpi che sugli Appennini sono diffuse numerose specie del sottogenere serviformica e Raptiformica, mentre nelle pianure fino al litorale si trovano Formica cunicularia e Formica cinerea.
I nidi sono costruiti con aghi di pino e possono raggiungere anche un metro e mezzo d'altezza e sono molto popolosi, Formica polyctena,una delle formiche del gruppo rufa forma nidi che possono ospitare anche 2 milioni di formiche che sono i nidi più popolosi d'Europa.

 Formica rufa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Formica rufa, also known as the southern wood ant or horse ant, is a boreal member of the Formica rufa group of ants, commonly found throughout southern England in both coniferous and broad leaf broken woodland and parkland.
Formica rufa is aggressively territorial, and will often attack and remove other ant species from the area.
Nuptial flights take place during the springtime and are often marked by savage battles between neighbouring colonies as territorial boundaries are re-established.

 Formica cunicularia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Formica cunicularia (Latreille) is a mining ant of the Formica fusca group.
Locally common in southern England, its appearance and habits ally it, to some extent, with Formica rufibarbis, although the former's red markings are far less conspicuous.
cunicularia] has frequently been confounded with rufibarbis, and it is probable that some British records of [...] rufibarbis really refer to this variety."

 Summary of the diploma thesist
The abundance of Formica workers was significantly higher in spider-removal plots.
Adult wandering spiders were more enriched in 15N than juveniles, indicating different feeding habits characterised by intraguild predation and cannibalism.
Mainly predatory ants with lager workers such as Formica cunicularia and Myrmica sabuleti contained more 15N than Lasius flavus and L. alienus, which are known for higher rates of trophobiosis.

We examined the occurrence of worker reproduction in field colonies of four ant species of the genera Formica and Myrmica.
Based on relatedness arguments alone, worker reproduction was expected in all species because of low queen mating frequency, or low effective queen numbers.

To elucidate the social integration strategy of the slave-making workers, Polyergus rufescens, behavioural and chemical analyses were carried out.
Cocoons of P. rufescens were introduced into subcolonies of four potential host species: Formica subgenus Serviformica (Formica cunicularia and F. rufibarbis, usual host species; F. gagates, rare host; F. selysi, non-natural host).
Slave-making broods were cared for and newly emerged workers showed several social interactions with adult Formica.
