Towards a Novel Biocontrol Strategy: High Performance of Optimised Cell Wall‐Degrading Enzymes Secreted by Escovopsis primorosea LBM 277

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Escovopsis primorosea LBM 277 efficiently produced proteases, β‐1,3‐glucanases and chitinases under submerged fermentation using Leucoagaricus gongylophorus cell walls and Mandels complex. RSM‐BBD optimization significantly increased enzyme activity. The enzymatic cocktail remained stable for 30 days at room temperature and pH 4–6, aligning with the ...

Foraging and nest maintenance activity of the leafcutter ant Acromyrmex lobicornis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in an organic vineyard in the Monte desert of Mendoza, Argentina

open access: yesRevista de la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina, 2021
Exclusive to the Neotropical region, leaf cutter ants are considered agricultural pests, although they can also have a positive effect on plants. In Mendoza vineyards, vegetal biodiversity is minimal, therefore they cut off this plant as a feeding ...

Biological corridors are crucial habitat features that boost biodiversity in agroecological systems of Argentina

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
Our work shows for the first time in the region that biological corridors increase biodiversity and promote interactions between different components of the production system, using a methodology never before used in Argentina such as the Griffon index.

Nest refuse of Acromyrmex balzani (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) increases the plant vigor in Turnera subulata (Turneraceae).

open access: yesBrazilian journal of biology = Revista brasleira de biologia, 2021
Some studies report the positive effect of organic residues from ant nests on soil properties and on the structure of the adjacent plant community in field experiments, but there is a gap about the effect on individual species. The purpose of the present

Decoupled evolution of mating biology and social structure in Acromyrmex leaf-cutting ants

open access: yesBehavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2021
Insect societies vary greatly in their social structure, mating biology, and life history. Polygyny, the presence of multiple reproductive queens in a single colony, and polyandry, multiple mating by females, both increase the genetic variability in ...

Chromosomal Diversity as a Predictor of Lineage Diversification in Ants Across Phylogenetic and Geographic Gradients

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate macroevolutionary and biogeographic patterns of chromosome number variation in ants (Formicidae), and to test whether chromosomal diversity is taxonomically structured, associated with species richness, varies with latitude, and accumulates over evolutionary time. Location Global.

Diversity and Transmission of Gut Bacteria in Atta and Acromyrmex Leaf-Cutting Ants during Development

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
The social Hymenoptera have distinct larval and adult stages separated by metamorphosis, which implies striking remodeling of external and internal body structures during the pupal stage.

Extensive Field Observations Throw Light on the Evolution of Mimicry in Camponotus lateralis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Camponotus lateralis (C, D) mimics regional color morphs of Crematogaster (A, B). Field trips brought insights into ecology, trail sharing, sexual reproduction, colony foundation, nest defense, and predation pressure of this mimetic ant. We found that the mimicry is Batesian and suggest several preadaptations for its evolution.
