Foraging by predatory ants: A review. [PDF]

Insect Sci
This review focuses on ecological and behavioral characteristics of foraging in ants showing the wide diversity of cases. Most ants can feed on sugary substances, but some ground‐nesting species are strict predators. Except army ants during the nomadic phase, they are central‐place foragers that can recruit nestmates when necessary. They prey mostly on

Intramandibular glands in different castes of leaf‐cutting Ant, Atta laevigata (Fr. Smith, 1858) (Formicidae: Attini) [PDF]

Microscopy Research and Technique, 2015
ABSTRACTIntramandibular glands have been poorly studied in polymorphic ants, where the differences between castes were unsufficiently scrutinized. Leaf‐cutting ants possess one of the most complex systems of communication and labor division, which is polymorphic well as age polyethism, and makes them an ideal model for the study of intramandibular ...

Phylogenomic reconstruction reveals new insights into the evolution and biogeography of Atta leaf‐cutting ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 1, Page 13-35, January 2022., 2022
We employ phylogenomic markers (UCEs) to reconstruct the most extensively sampled phylogeny to date for the ecologically dominant leaf‐cutting ant genus Atta, the major herbivore of the New World tropics. The ancestor of Atta arose 8.5 Ma in the North/Central America + NW South America range, and its descendant species rapidly radiated into Neotropical

Colony Foundation in Leafcutting Ants: The Perils of Polygyny in Atta Laevigata (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) [PDF]

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 1991
The huge colonies of Atta leafcutting ants are usually started by independent females under claustral conditions (Huber, 1905; Weber, 1972; Wilson, 1985). Without foraging for supplementary food, the foundress female must rear worker offspring and successfully nurture the fungus culture. Consequently, Atta females are among the largest ants known, with
