Mandible elemental composition and mechanical properties from distinct castes of the leafcutter ant Atta laevigata (Attini; Formicidae). [PDF]
Interface FocusLeafcutter ant colonies are divided into castes with the individuals performing different tasks, based mostly on size. With the mandibles, the small minims care for the brood or the fungus, whereas the larger minors and mediae cut and transport plant ...

Mechanical properties and cuticle organisation in mandibles are related to the task specialisation in leafcutter ants (Atta laevigata, Attini, Formicidae) [PDF]
Physiological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 152-165, June 2025.Leafcutter ants show a high degree of task division among the workers of different castes. For example, the smallest workers, the minims, care for the brood and the symbiotic fungus, whereas the larger mediae cut and transport plant material.

Characterization of the Mandible Atta Laevigata and the Bioinspiration for the Development of a Biomimetic Surgical Clamp [PDF]
Materials Research, 2017 Approximately thousand years ago it was reported the use of mandibles of ants for suture. In this sense, bioinspired components, as absorbable surgical clamps, can be designed. This study is aimed to characterize the mandible of the ant Atta laevigata in

Variação espaço-temporal na atividade forrageira da Saúva (Atta laevigata) [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2002 Na Amazônia, a regeneração natural da floresta em pastos e cultivos abandonados pode ser afetada pelas saúvas, pois estas são importantes predadoras das plântulas e das sementes das espécies arbóreas que eventualmente ali se estabelecem.
