Growth of Atta laevigata (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Nests in Pine Plantations
The Florida Entomologist, 1999 We evaluated the survival, mortality and colony growth over time after worker emergence in colonies of Atta laevigata (Fr. Smith) ants in young pine tree plantations of Pinus caribaea (Mor) located in Estado Monagas, Venezuela. One hundred forty-four colonies were inspected during a 41-month period. Colony mortality one month after worker emergence was

Systematic Entomology, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 939-956, October 2019., 2019 Fungus‐farming ants cultivate fungus gardens for food. ‘Higher’ fungus‐farming ants, including the well‐known leaf‐cutting ants, cultivate domesticated cultivars that are clearly modified for life with ants. Here we show that the higher fungus‐farming ant genus Trachymyrmex consists of three different groups, one of which is the sister group of leaf ...
