Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 We describe the use of ants as indicators in Brazil, based on a critical review of published articles. The analysis of fifty‐eight papers, encompassing a range of almost 25 years, indicates an increased number of studies using ants as indicators in the last decade. Among the parameters analyzed in the papers, species composition is the most suitable to

Specialized Fungal Parasites and Opportunistic Fungi in Gardens of Attine Ants
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Ants in the tribe Attini (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) comprise about 230 described species that share the same characteristic: all coevolved in an ancient mutualism with basidiomycetous fungi cultivated for food. In this paper we focused on fungi other than the mutualistic cultivar and their roles in the attine ant symbiosis.

Potential of alternative control of leaf‐cutting ants using essential oils: A systematic review
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 497-511, November 2025.Abstract Leaf‐cutting ants (LCAs) are abundant and cause considerable damage to agricultural and forest crops in the Neotropical region and are commonly controlled using sulfluramid‐based ant baits. However, this active ingredient is a precursor of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), a persistent, human‐made pollutant that poses serious environmental

Ecological Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 166-179, April 2024.Diadic interactions between Lasius niger workers from colonies at different distances. Aggressive interactions do not correlate with relatedness or spatial distance. Jerking and antennation are lower between less related ants and ants from more spatially distant colonies.
