Ants of the genus Protalaridris (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), more than just deadly mandibles

European Journal of Entomology, 2018
The ants of the genus Protalaridris are revised based upon their morphology. Seven species are recognized; the type species (P. armata Brown, 1980) and six species described as new: P. aculeata Lattke & Alpert, sp. n., P.

Distinct and enhanced hygienic responses of a leaf‐cutting ant toward repeated fungi exposures

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 7, July 2022., 2022
The leaf‐cutting ant Atta sexdens discriminates between different antagonistic fungi and apply distinct responses to remove them from the fungus garden. Also, successive exposures to the same antagonist increase sanitization in the fungus garden.

Feeding habits and multifunctional classification of soil‐associated consumers from protists to vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 1057-1117, June 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services ...

Metabolism And The Rise Of Fungus Cultivation By Ants [PDF]

, 2014
Most ant colonies are comprised of workers that cooperate to harvest resources and feed developing larvae. Around 50 million years ago (MYA), ants of the attine lineage adopted an alternative strategy, harvesting resources used as compost to produce ...
