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

An Old World leaf-cutting, fungus-growing ant: A case of convergent evolution. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Crematogaster clariventris, a myrmicine ant from the African subgenus Atopogyne, is a defoliator that uses vegetal material to grow fungi as do higher New World leaf‐cutting Attina, illustrating a case of convergent evolution. However, C. clariventris grows fungal mycelia to reinforce the carton of the nests rather than cultivating it for food ...

The Influence of Selected Insecticides on the Oxidative Response of Atta sexdens (Myrmicinae, Attini) Workers. [PDF]
Neotrop Entomol, 2023 AbstractReactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as products of normal cellular metabolic activities; however, the use of pesticides to control leafcutter ants leads to unbalanced ROS production. We evaluated the effects of two insecticides (fipronil, sulfluramid) and metallic insecticide complex (magnesium complex [Mg(hesp)2(phen)] (1)) on the ...
