The Antennal Lobes of Fungus-Growing Ants (Attini): Neuroanatomical Traits and Evolutionary Trends [PDF]
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2009 Ants of the tribe Attini are characterized by their obligate cultivation of symbiotic fungi. In addition to the complex chemical communication system of ants in general, substrate selection and fungus cultivation pose high demands on the olfactory system of the Attini. Indeed, behavioral studies have shown a rich diversity of olfactory-guided behaviors

More diverse than previously thought: a novel Hypocreaceae symbiont from Apterostigma fungus-farming ants [PDF]
IMA FungusFungi in the family Hypocreaceae colonize a wide range of habitats, including the nests of fungus-farming ants (Attini, the “attines”). Although several Hypocreaceae genera are known from attine ant nests, recent studies indicate an even greater ...

Leafcutter Ant Farmers Prevent Loss of Edible Symbiotic Structures by Maintaining Allelic Diversity in Their Multinucleate Fungal Crop. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Leafcutter ants farm the domesticated fungal cultivar Leucoagaricus gongylophorus in subterranean nests containing up to hundreds of discrete garden chambers. The fungal cultivar produces edible symbiotic structures called gongylidia (nutritious swollen hyphal cells consumed by the ants) and expresses a form of polyploidy (multiple ...
