Locating, collecting, and maintaining colonies of fungus-farming ants (Hymenoptera: Myrmicinae: Attini)

open access: yesSociobiology, 2015
The purpose of this paper is to describe methods developed by generations of attinologists for locating, collecting, and maintaining in the laboratory live colonies of fungus-farming ants. Our goal is to accelerate the study of the many very poorly known

More diverse than previously thought: a novel Hypocreaceae symbiont from Apterostigma fungus-farming ants [PDF]

open access: yesIMA Fungus
Fungi 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 ...

Reconstructing the functions of endosymbiotic Mollicutes in fungus-growing ants

open access: yeseLife, 2018
Mollicutes, a widespread class of bacteria associated with animals and plants, were recently identified as abundant abdominal endosymbionts in healthy workers of attine fungus-farming leaf-cutting ants.

Mandibular and postpharyngeal gland secretions of Acromyrmex landolti (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) as chemical cues for nestmate recognition

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2013
Nestmate recognition is fundamental for the cohesiveness of the colony in social insects. Acromyrmex landolti is a higher Attini, a leaf-cutter ant with largest nest and morphological castes.

Morphological and morphometric studies of the antennal sensilla from two populations of Atta robusta (Borgmeier 1939) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
The ant Atta robusta is endemic to the “restinga” ecosystems where it has an important role in the dynamics of seed dispersal. Despite its importance, A. robusta is considered a threatened species. In this study we analyzed the antennal sensory organs of

Cytogenetic studies of five taxa of the tribe Attini (Formicidae: Myrmicinae)

open access: yesCaryologia, 2013
Cytogenetic studies have been carried out on more than 750 ant taxa and are an important tool in evolutionary, taxonomic and phylogenetic studies. However, less than 10% of the species reported in the tribe Attini have been studied. The aim of the present study was to describe the chromosomes of five attine ants collected in Vicosa, Minas Gerais state,
