Studies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment, 2000
The mounds of ant nests have been characterized as structures that facilitate the colonization of habitats subject to extreme temperatures. My objective was to investigate the importance of the mound of Acromyrmex lobicornis (Formicidae, Attini) in this process.

In leaf-cutting ants, the handling of waste materials from the fungus culture increases the risk of infection. Consequently, ants should manage their waste in a way that minimizes the spread of diseases. We investigated whether in Acromyrmex lobicornis, waste-worker ants (a) also perform roles in foraging or mound maintenance, (b) are morphologically ...

Zootaxa, 2009 Diapriids are predominately known as parasitoids of fly pupae. According to Huggert and Masner (1983), representatives of three subfamilies of ants (Myrmicinae, Formicinae and Dorylinae) are the known hosts of myrmecophilic diapriinae wasps (Diapriidae: Diapriinae); within the Myrmicinae, the genera known to be associated with diapriines are Solenopsis

Wind disrupts trail pheromone communication in the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex lobicornis
Animal Behaviour, 2022Although wind is a ubiquitous component of ecological systems and might affect pheromone communication, its effects have not been studied in depth. To test whether wind impacts trail pheromone behaviour, we studied the behaviour of the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex lobicornis in natural nests.

Potential of nanostructured alumina for leaf‐cutting ants Acromyrmex lobicornis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) management [PDF]
Austral Entomology, 2018 The present study assessed the contact toxicity of nanostructured alumina (NSA) and compared it to that of diatomaceous earth (DE) on workers of Acromyrmex lobicornis.
