Large deformation diffeomorphic mapping of 3D shape variation reveals two distinct mandible and head capsule morphs in Atta vollenweideri leaf‐cutter worker ants

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2024.
Atta vollenweideri leaf‐cutter ant workers vary continously in size across more than two orders of magnitude in body mass. We investigated whether size‐variation correlates with shape variation by analysing the 3D morphology of mandibles and head capsules.

Differentiation in selection of dicots and grasses by the leaf-cutter Ants Atta capiguara, Atta laevigata and Atta sexdens rubropilosa

, 2022
Besides foraging for grasses, the so-called grass-cutter ants, such as Atta capiguara (Hym., Formicidae, Attini), have shown, in the laboratory, a high preference for dicots including Acalypha spp. This preference has also been observed in Atta laevigata, a dicot- and grass-cutter species.

The nest architecture of the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Abstract Nests of species of the genus Atta are, structurally, the most complex among those of the Attini tribe. The objective of this research was to describe external and internal characteristics of nests of the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens (L. 1758) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Vitória da Conquista, Bahia state, Brazil.
