Dietary diversity, sociality, and the evolution of ant gustation
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Ants have remarkably diverse diets and extraordinary species richness, making them an excellent model system to study the evolution of taste. In this entirely eusocial clade, food choice and the mechanisms that regulate feeding have both individual and ...

Bacterial microbiomes from vertically-transmitted fungal inocula of the leaf-cutting ant Atta texana [PDF]
, 2016 Microbiome surveys provide clues for the functional roles of symbiotic microbial communities and their hosts. In this study, we elucidated bacterial microbiomes associated with the vertically transmitted fungal inocula (pellets) used by foundress queens ...

Herbivoría de Atta cephalotes (Hymenoptera: Myrmicinae) sobre tres sustratos vegetales
Revista Colombiana de Entomología, 2008 Un estudio reciente sugiere una significativa reducción de la herbivoría de la hormiga arriera, Atta cephalotes, en plantaciones de arboloco (Montanoa quadrangularis (Asteraceae)) asociadas y abonadas con follaje verde de botón de oro (Tithonia diversifolia (Asteraceae)). Estas observaciones plantean un efecto disuasivo de esta planta sobre el forrajeo

Collective effects in traffic on bi-directional ant-trails [PDF]
, 2004 Motivated by recent experimental work of Burd et al., we propose a model of bi-directional ant-traffic on pre-existing ant-trails. It captures in a simple way some of the generic collective features of movements of real ants on a trail.

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 ...

IsoPlotter(+): A Tool for Studying the Compositional Architecture of Genomes. [PDF]
, 2013 Eukaryotic genomes, particularly animal genomes, have a complex, nonuniform, and nonrandom internal compositional organization. The compositional organization of animal genomes can be described as a mosaic of discrete genomic regions, called ...
