The effect of increase in the temperature on the foraging of Acromyrmex lobicornis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) [PDF]
The leaf-cutting ants appear to be a suitable group for studying the effect of global warming on ectothermic animals. These ants of the Atta and Acromyrmex genera are considered to be the main herbivores in the Neotropics. They have patterns of harvesting associated with ranges of temperature.

Exposure to creosote bush phenolic resin causes avoidance in the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex lobicornis (Formicidae: Attini) [PDF]
We focused our study on the effects of Larrea cuneifolia phenolic resin on leaf-cutting ants from two populations (Sierra de las Quijadas National Park and San Roque) of Acromyrmex lobicornis in San Luis, Argentina. We conducted two bioassays of food choice (fi eld and laboratory) to compare the effects of phenolic resin on ant workers from these two ...

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.

Dear enemy phenomenon in the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex lobicornis: behavioral and genetic evidence
Behavioral Ecology, 2010The defense of territory through aggressive behavior is well known in animals. However, some territorial animal species respond less aggressively to intrusions by their neighbors than to intrusions by nonneighbors to minimize the costs of continuous fights, a phenomenon termed the dear enemy phenomenon (DEP). Although several studies show the existence
