Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2023 Leaf-cutter ants (LCAs) are widely distributed and alter the physical and biotic architecture above and below ground. In neotropical rainforests, they create aboveground and belowground disturbance gaps that facilitate oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange.

Ant Diversity and Stratification in an Amazonian Rainforest
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.We examined the three strata of an Amazonian rainforest (e.g., the ground and leaf litter, understory and canopy) using only two sampling techniques and analyzed their functional traits. We identified 494 ant species from 10 subfamilies and 77 genera over ≈3.0 ha, showing that they are species rich and abundant, particularly at ground level.

Food Frontiers, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 2591-2646, November 2025.Edible insects offer a sustainable protein source, requiring fewer resources than traditional livestock. Despite challenges, they have the potential to enhance food security and sustainability for a growing global population. ABSTRACT As the world faces an escalating protein crisis amid climate change, population growth, and resource scarcity, edible ...

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2020 AbstractThe leaf-cutting ant, Atta cephalotes L. (1758), is a major herbivore with great economic impact in the Neotropics. Because of its broad range and human-mediated dissemination, the ecology of this ant has received considerable attention; however, questions concerning its population genetics, dispersal, and social structure remain unexplored ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.We use data from 73 Neotropical ant species to examine the strength of associations between nine morphological traits and trophic position. No individual morphological trait explained variation in the trophic position of arboreal species, whereas three traits individually correlated with the trophic position of ground species, but only weakly so ...

, 1939 Atta cephalotes Linné, 1758 (Fig. 18) Como localidade do typo desta espécie deve ser considerada a Guyana Hollandeza (Surinam). Linneu baseou a sua diagnose (1758) sobre material colleccionado por Rolander, sobre o qual diz H. Baillon (1891, Dictionnaire de Botanique, vol. 3, Paris, p. 742): «Voyageur danois à la Guyane.

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.Fat body (FB) acts as a major metabolic center important for the regulation of a variety of physiological processes such as embryogenesis, reproduction, flight, overwintering, protection, and communication. Lipid amounts and fatty acid (FA) composition vary with species, stage of life, and their diet.
