Does mining waste concentration in the soil interfere with leaf selection by Acromyrmex subterraneus (Formicidae)?

Biotropica, 2021
Revegetation programs are proposed to recover the soil and biodiversity of disturbed sites, this being the case of the Rio Doce basin, Brazil. This region was hugely affected by a mining waste dam disruption, whose leakage on the soil altered its ...

Foraging Ecology of the Leaf-Cutter Ant, Acromyrmex subterraneus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), in a Neotropical Cerrado Savanna

Environmental Entomology, 2019
Fungus-farming ants cultivate a fungal symbiont inside the nest that serves as a food source. Leaf-cutter ants are distinctive among fungus-farmers because they forage for fresh plant material to nurture the fungus.

Taxonomic revision of the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex subterraneus (Forel, 1893)

International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2022
Leaf-cutting ants (genera Acromyrmex, Amoimyrmex and Atta) are the most important generalist herbivores in the Neotropical Region. The subspecies of Acromyrmex subterraneus are morphologically similar but differing from the other species of this genus. Acromyrmex subterraneus complex may be three non-described leaf-cutting ant species.

Polygyny, oviposition, life cycle and longevity of the three subspecies of leaf-cutting ants, Acromyrmex subterraneus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Journal of Natural History, 2018
Research related to the comparative biology of phylogenetically close ant species has received little attention, although it is the basis for understanding the systematics of some sibling groups. The objective was to study the polygyny, oviposition, life

Repellent potential of agroecological extracts: Exploring their efficacy against the leaf‐cutting ant Acromyrmex subterraneus in the laboratory

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata
The increasing restrictions on commercial toxic baits for controlling leaf‐cutting ants have started a “gold rush” for alternative compounds, with agroecological extracts emerging as a promising option.
