Mutualistic interactions between ants and fungi: A review
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023 We review the mutualistic interactions between ants and fungi. Neotropical myrmicine Attina cultivate Basidiomycota for food, the same being true for certain “plant‐ants” associated with myrmecophytes that also feed on Ascomycota fungi. Otherwise, these Ascomycota have antibacterial properties.

Embryogenesis in Myrmicine Ants Combines Features of Short Germ-Band Development With a Progressive Mode of Segmentation. [PDF]
J Exp Zool B Mol Dev EvolDifferent insect species exhibit remarkable diversity in the developmental trajectories from fertilized eggs to hatching larvae. For three myrmicine ant species, we observe a novel combination of a developmental features: small embryonic primordia, a mode of embryogenesis termed short/intermediate germ‐band development, and progressive establishment of

Microbial communities of the ant Formica exsecta and its nest material
European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 74, Issue 3, May–June 2023., 2023 This study compares the bacterial and fungal microbiomes of worker ants of Formica exsecta, and the nest material associated with the ants. We found that the ants maintain a microbiome, distinct from the surrounding nest material, and that this microbiome is consistent across colonies and time.

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.

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 ...

Compact Implementation and Performance Evaluation of Block Ciphers in ATtiny Devices [PDF]
, 2012 The design of lightweight block ciphers has been a very active research topic over the last years. However, the lack of comparative source codes generally makes it hard to evaluate the extent to which implementations of different ciphers actually reach their low-cost goals on various platforms.
