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.

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 ...
